FAO: Andy Jassy, CEO, Amazon Web Services

Re: Applying AWS Credits To Startups And ScaleUps

Dear Andy

We are the founders of start up and scale up companies, from all over the world, who use AWS products and services. Many of us have been fortunate to receive credits AWS kindly extended to our businesses, when we started out.

All of us are your customers now.

We know AWS are working hard to secure their own business in this challenging environment; and we applaud and support their initiative to offer additional credits to companies and teams working on a response to COVID-19. 

Many startups and scaleups are fighting for their survival too. As a global community, we are asking AWS to extend additional credits to us, your existing customers, at this critical time; you are uniquely placed to make a dramatic impact on the tech community with this one gesture. 

For companies needing urgent support, all suppliers are extending any hand they can to aid cash preservation, runway extension and for many, survival. We want to continue to be AWS's customers, know our survival is critical to global economic recovery and are asking that you swiftly consider allocating credits to us all. 

We propose you evaluate those credits based on last twelve month's spend, offering us all the equivalent of one quarter’s standard usage, as a spectacular way you can help us through this difficult time.

Over 200 founders from Europe, North America and India signed this letter within 24 hours. We have posted this letter on change.org asking more founders and CTOs to sign up and demonstrate how, with this one swift gesture, you can make a meaningful impact on us all.

We hope you hear us.

Sincerely

The Global StartUp and ScaleUp Community
