AWS Startup Credits for UK Startups

Up to $200,000 in AWS Activate credits for UK founders — full application, AWS account setup and architecture guidance, delivered remotely by ROSTAN, an AWS Activate Provider.

Apply for AWS Credits → Already applied? Log in

AWS Activate is a global program, and UK startups are fully eligible. Through ROSTAN Technologies — an AWS Activate Provider — qualifying UK startups can access the Portfolio tier of AWS Activate, worth up to $200,000 in credits, rather than the smaller self-apply Founders tier. We prepare and submit the application, help you set up your AWS account, and review your initial architecture so the credits go further.

Support is delivered remotely by our AWS team in India, working to UK business hours. You get hands-on help without London consulting rates — and your workloads and data can stay in the UK AWS Region throughout.

AWS Region serving the United Kingdom

The AWS Europe (London) Region (eu-west-2) has three Availability Zones and lets UK startups keep data and workloads in-country, close to UK users and aligned with UK data protection requirements.

Data residency in the UK

Keep customer data in the London Region to support obligations under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Low latency for UK users

An in-country Region with three Availability Zones keeps response times fast for customers across the UK.

Support in your hours

Delivered remotely from India, aligned to UK business hours — application help, account setup and architecture review.

Well-Architected from day one

We review your initial setup against AWS Well-Architected principles so your credits fund the right foundation, not rework.

How it works

We keep it simple for UK founders: confirm you meet the AWS Activate prerequisites (company under 10 years old, privately held, with an AWS account), then we prepare and submit your Portfolio-tier application, help set up your AWS account, and review your first architecture — all remotely, in your business hours. See the full eligibility checklist on our main AWS Startup Credits page.

Frequently asked questions

Can UK startups get AWS Activate credits?
Yes. AWS Activate is a global program and UK startups are fully eligible. Applying through ROSTAN as an AWS Activate Provider gives access to the Portfolio tier, worth up to $200,000 in credits, subject to AWS eligibility rules such as company age under 10 years and not being publicly traded.
Does ROSTAN have an office in the UK?
No. ROSTAN delivers AWS Activate support to UK startups remotely from India, working to UK business hours. There is no local office; the benefit is local-grade help without London consulting rates, while your workloads run in the AWS London Region.
Which AWS Region should a UK startup use?
Most UK startups use the AWS Europe (London) Region (eu-west-2) for lowest latency to UK users and to help meet UK GDPR data residency expectations. We confirm the right choice based on your users and compliance needs.
How much do the credits cost, and what does ROSTAN charge?
The AWS Activate credits themselves are provided by AWS at no cost. Contact us for how our application and setup support is structured for UK startups — the goal is to get you approved and productive on AWS with minimal friction.
Are the credits in pounds sterling?
AWS Activate credits are denominated in US dollars and applied against your AWS bill. Your AWS invoices can still be managed in GBP; the credit simply offsets usage up to its value.
