How Startups Become Unicorns on AWS

Description:

From a pre-seed round to a billion-dollar valuation, the world's top startups build on AWS.

We have been assisting startups for over a decade and have mentored many of them. As a result, we have gained a comprehensive understanding of the use cases and behavioral patterns of startups that go on to become unicorns. Furthermore, our team has a large network of relationships with key stakeholders (Angels, Incubators, and VC) in the startup ecosystem, giving us insight into what investors look for in startups.

This panel will discuss the strategies and patterns of behavior of unicorn founders. Our experts will provide insights into what makes these Founders successful and how you can apply these lessons to your own startup journey.
