AWS launches program to support startups developing AI platforms.

AWS will award each selected startup with AWS credit of up to $1 million, along with mentoring, training, and access to industry experts to help them build and scale revolutionary generative AI technologies.

AWS will award up to $1 million in AWS credit to each selected startup.

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), has officially opened the third round of applications for the AWS Generative AI Accelerator (GAIA) program, an eight-week program for early-stage startups globally, designed to help them scale up their foundational AI generation technologies.

AWS Generative AI Accelerator is an eight-week hybrid program that includes online sessions interspersed with in-person sessions at Amazon's Seattle headquarters and concludes at the AWS re:Invent 2025 event. Startups developing large-scale language models (LLMs), infrastructure tools, model refinement platforms, or specialized platform agents are encouraged to apply.

Companies need to have a minimum viable product (MVP), an initial user base or market response, and a strong engineering team. No prior AWS experience is required; however, startups building on AWS will have a significant advantage due to direct support for system architecture and market access.

This year, 40 promising startups from around the world will be selected to participate in the program, scheduled to launch on October 13, 2025, at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle. Applications will be accepted from June 10 to July 10, 2025, and the list of selected startups will be announced on September 24, 2025.

The program aims to accelerate these teams through support packages including up to $1 million in AWS credits, technical guidance and mentorship, market access support, and access to AWS's evolving AI ecosystem.

Jon Jones, Vice President and Global Head of Startups at AWS, shared: “We are entering a phase where virtually every startup will be applying generative AI in business in various forms. Therefore, with this year’s accelerator program, we are focused on supporting startups developing foundational technologies that will shape the future potential of AI. This year’s program is part of our ongoing commitment to fostering innovation in generative AI globally, by providing disruptive startups with credit, mentorship, and opportunities to scale confidently.”
