The cloud giant says it will grant qualified early-stage startups a free year of credits to its competitor, Kiro Pro+, AWS CEO Matt Garman announced during his keynote speech at the re:Invent 2025 conference. These startups can request free credits for up to 100 users. But there are restrictions. Only startups that have secured VC funding ranging from pre-seed to Series B funding are eligible.
