AWS Activate is now open to all startups

Any correlation with Google Cloud Next? Will Google too reopen it for everyone?

Wish Google would have something similar. AWS has been a huge help but there are a few services Google just kills it at.

Google had it for everyone before, then made it $100K for funded startups, and only $2K for the ones that are not funded. https://inthecloud.withgoogle.com/startup/dl-cd.html

This is incredible leg up for any startup trying to prove product market fit.

You still have to provide Organization ID for Portfolio tier :(
