Get up to $5,000 in AWS credits. Without the rejection emails.

No. This is an independent educational masterclass. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to Amazon Web Services, HubSpot, Stripe, or any other program mentioned. We teach the publicly-available application processes and share strategies that have worked for our community.

No, and walk away from anyone who does. Approval is decided by AWS reviewers, not us. The "$5,000" is the publicly-documented maximum credit tier targeted by this masterclass. Many of our buyers get approved for $1K or $2K tiers; some get the full $5K. Your actual approval will depend on your startup, your application quality, and AWS's own scoring criteria. What we promise: the most complete AWS application framework available, used by 1,200+ founders.

Yes. AWS Activate has multiple credit tiers up to $5,000 for self-funded and bootstrapped founders. Higher tiers (above $5K) typically require VC backing and are outside this masterclass's scope. We focus on the tiers that the largest population of founders can actually qualify for, and that's the up-to-$5K bracket.

Yes, that's actually our sweet spot. Module 2 specifically covers how to position pre-revenue, pre-product startups using language AWS reviewers respond to. Many of our buyers had nothing more than a landing page when they applied. Honesty rule: you do need an actual startup (even just an idea + entity counts); we don't teach you to fake one.

Completely legal. The masterclass teaches you to write strong, honest applications, same way grant-writing courses help researchers, or YC interview prep helps founders. You submit your real startup details, formatted in a way reviewers respond to. Nothing in this course encourages misrepresentation. If you can't honestly meet eligibility requirements, no playbook will help, and we say so in module 1.

AWS Activate typically responds in 1–3 weeks. Many of our buyers report approvals within 8–14 days of submitting using our template. If you get rejected, the 14-day cooldown rewrite (in module 3) has a strong recovery rate.

We offer a 7-day refund if you have not yet accessed the course content. Because this is a digital product delivered instantly, once you've logged in and started watching the modules or downloading the templates, the content is considered consumed and refunds are no longer available. To request a refund within the 7-day window, email us at the support address with your order confirmation. We process eligible refunds within 5–7 business days back to your original payment method.
