From the email received today from Amazon:
The AWS Start-Up Challenge has launched and once again we are looking for the most promising start-ups that are building their businesses on AWS infrastructure services. Start-ups in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Israel are encouraged to apply for a chance to win $50,000 in cash, $50,000 in AWS credits, mentoring sessions from AWS technical experts, and AWS Premium Support Gold for one year.
The 2008 Challenge winner, John Barr, VP of Yieldex says, "Winning the AWS Start-Up Challenge last year put our business on the fast track. Since then, we've successfully raised $8.5 million dollars and grown at least two orders of magnitude in each of the data processing categories we measure, including 40 billion monthly impressions under management and 3 terabytes of data processed daily in the cloud."
To learn more and enter the competition, visit the AWS Start-Up Challenge home page.
Looks good and relevant to a lot of businesses. Why have they specifically excluded Ireland? (or more accurately specified 4 counties and ignored everyone else?)
From their T&C: The Contest is open to: (a) individuals or sole proprietors who are legal residents of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, Germany and Israel who have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence at time of entry;
