Accelerators
Accelerators are time-bound, cohort-based programs that provide early-stage startups with technical expertise, mentorship, exposure to investors, credits and resources to accelerate growth. Accelerators provide structured support to help startups achieve significant progress over the course of several weeks.
Lofts
Lofts are community spaces for startups and developers to build, launch & scale their next innovations. Located in startup hotspots around the world, they offer attendees the opportunity to get hands-on with AWS, access 1:1 support from AWS experts, and forge connections with investors, industry leaders, and innovators in an environment designed for collaboration.
Spotlights
Spotlights are regionally-focused, short-term programs that offer targeted support to early-stage startups within specific industries or technologies. They provide specialized instruction and expert guidance without the time commitment of a traditional accelerator. Spotlights aim to address particular needs or challenges faced by startups in a given sector.
