Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Techstars have launched a breakthrough initiative (AWS IMPACT BOOTCAMPS) to support low startup founders around the world. The program, which began in September 2025, aims to solve the imbalance of opportunities faced by many people by providing essential resources to entrepreneurs in various backgrounds.
Dr. Nashlie Sepus, the main AI/ML technology evangelist of AWS, said, «Talent is the same but not an opportunity.» This initiative is based on the $ 30 million promise of AWS in 2022 to improve support for blacks, women, Latin and LGBTQIA+ founders. The new Bootcamp program aims to expand this support by reaching the innovators from Atlanta to Tokyo.
For small business owners, AWS IMPACT BOOTCAMPS offers some central benefits. Each boot camp offers a two -day educational experience for two days of accessing training skills, expert business coaching and mentors and investor networks. Founders will also receive $ 5,000 for AWS Promotion Credit to start the cloud -based project, a valuable resource in today’s digital environment. Through the workshop that Techstars manages local, participants can expect customized support directly related to the market environment.
The first boot camp will be held in Atlanta from September 8 to 9, 2025, with a follow -up position for Mexico City, London, Berlin and Tokyo. These various global footprints enable startups from various regions to participate and benefit from programs. Participants must emphasize the promise of initiatives to identify as an inappropriate community member or to exhibit participation with such a community.
David Cohen, the founder and CEO of Techstars, clearly revealed the spirit of the venture. “Through AWS, we can approach the founders who can not meet otherwise and give mentoring and maps for expansion.” This feelings directly speak directly with the general challenge faced by the owner of a small company to secure mentoring and funding opportunities.
The potential applications of the technology learned at Boot Camp will expand beyond immediate technical training. Founders can apply for a famous AWS founder retreat. This exclusive event includes the opportunity to secure up to $ 50,000 subsidies with investor meetings and additional AWS credits, further enhancing the resources available to small businesses.
However, the owner of a small business that considers participation must know the potential task. The program gives the founder a resource and access authority, but the competition characteristics of the Bootcamp application can be a obstacle to some. Potential applicants should show that they have proved clear demands for cloud technology and raised their own funding, angel support, or Capital to Series A.This requirements can be quite narrowing the site, so it is important to prepare a powerful application that clearly explains the vision and demands.
Overall, AWS IMPACT BOOTCAMPS shows an important step in solving the gap that supports low founders. As small businesses are increasingly complicated and exploring the digital environment, such programs provide important life lines.

This initiative not only reflects AWS’s promises to diversity, but also provides the tools for successful founders by setting promising precedents for comprehensive entrepreneurship. When boot camps are released, innovative ideas and solutions can open a way to flourish in the marginalized community around the world.
