Startups Win $100k from Amazon
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is searching for the next hot start up that is building a business on Amazon Web Services.
If you have a new idea or an existing application that uses Amazon Web Services, then enter the AWS Start-Up Challenge. You can win $50,000 in cash, $50,000 credit toward Amazon Web Services, an investment offer from Amazon, and mentoring sessions from an Amazon Web Services Technical Expert.
The contest is open to any developers, entrepreneurs, and start-ups, and you can enter by completing an online application by October 28, 2007.
The Amazon judges’ panel will review all applications and choose five finalists, based on originality and creativity of the idea, likelihood of long-term success, how well it addresses a need in the marketplace, and implementation of pay-as-you-use Amazon Web Services.
Finalists will be announced in November and Amazon will produce a video of each finalist to post on aws.amazon.com where the community can vote for their favorite start-up.
