AWS offers various funding programs to help offset the costs of early-stage AI projects, such as Proof of Concept (POC) and pilot initiatives. As an AWS Advanced Partner, Cloud Combinator helps identify eligible use cases, aligns your project with AWS strategic goals, and manages the application process to secure funding, reducing your upfront financial risk.

While we strive to align your project with AWS funding criteria, our approach is tailored to fit a wide range of business needs. Even if funding isn’t available, our expertise in rapid prototyping, performance optimisation, and security ensures that your AI initiative delivers tangible value and sets the stage for future scalability.

Typically, our streamlined process can kickstart your project within a week. The POC phase is designed to quickly demonstrate the value of your AI solution. Once you see the benefits and potential, securing additional funding for further development becomes much easier.

Not at all. Our rapid prototyping approach is built around the “fail fast, learn fast” philosophy. The initial POC is a low-risk way to test your concept. If it doesn’t meet your expectations, you have the opportunity to pivot or refine your strategy without the burden of a full-scale commitment.

Security is paramount in our approach. We ensure that all data handling complies with industry standards and regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA. Our solutions leverage secure VPC-to-VPC connectivity and AWS’s robust security features, so your sensitive information remains protected throughout the project.

Our goal is to minimize your upfront costs by leveraging AWS funding programs. While there may be some nominal fees for professional services or integration work, the majority of the POC costs can be offset through AWS initiatives. We work closely with you to ensure that the project is both cost-effective and aligned with your business objectives.
