AWS Startup Showcase Highlights the Culture of Innovation that Helps Startups Succeed
By Jeremy Arnon, Sr. Partner Development Manager at AWS
Since our inception, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has believed the most important companies of tomorrow are the startups of today. Startups are the lifeblood of innovation. They are the risk-takers who solve complex problems. They are the dreamers who can disrupt entire industries.
At AWS, we believe in the power of startups and are proud to support them every step of the way. Through the AWS Partner Network (APN) Global Startup Program, we are helping hundreds of VC-backed ISVs accelerate their growth through go-to-market programs and co-selling expertise.
We are excited to continue showing our support through the inaugural AWS Startup Showcase, a virtual AWS Loft-style event we’re hosting in partnership with theCUBE, a world leader in enterprise tech media that focuses on digital transformation and cultures of innovation.
The event is geared towards a diverse audience of business decision makers, developers, and IT professionals. Customers and AWS Partners alike will meet 10 of the most innovative companies from the APN Global Startup Program, who will present their latest offerings and innovations on managing and using data at cloud-scale.
The event will be streamed live to a registered audience on March 24, as well as syndicated to other platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, and LinkedIn.
