AWS Partner programs
AWS credits, and the architecture to spend them well.
As an AWS Partner we help eligible teams navigate AWS Activate and related credit programs — then architect the workloads the credits fund, so the runway buys you a platform rather than a surprise bill.
Read this first
Credits are issued by AWS, not by Morphlix. Eligibility criteria, amounts, and program terms are set by AWS and change over time.
What we can do is tell you honestly which program fits, prepare the application properly, and sponsor it where our partner tier allows.

Typical AWS decision
The programs
Four routes to funded AWS.
Which one applies depends on your stage, your workload, and whether you are building a new product or moving an existing estate. Most teams qualify for one; some for two.
AWS Activate
The main credit route for early-stage companies building on AWS. Tiers depend on your stage and whether a partner or investor sponsors the application.
Typically fits
- Pre-launch or early-revenue startups
- Building a new product on AWS
- No significant existing AWS spend
We sponsor the application and prepare the workload plan AWS asks for.
Migration assessment funding
Partner-funded discovery for teams with an existing estate. AWS underwrites the readiness assessment that precedes a migration.
Typically fits
- An on-premise or other-cloud estate
- A genuine intent to migrate
- Workloads of meaningful size
We run the assessment and handle the funding paperwork with AWS.
Migration acceleration
Funding applied against the migration itself once a plan exists — landing zone, cutover, and the first wave of workloads.
Typically fits
- A completed readiness assessment
- A committed migration timeline
- Multiple workloads in scope
We deliver the migration and claim the funding against agreed milestones.
Venture formation credits
For companies formed inside the studio, credits are arranged as part of venture setup alongside the shared platform they inherit.
Typically fits
- A venture partnership with Morphlix
- A company at formation stage
- Building on the studio platform
Handled as part of venture setup — you do not apply separately.
Program names, eligibility rules, and credit amounts are defined and revised by AWS. Nothing on this page is a commitment of credits — we confirm what is currently available for your situation before you apply.
How it works
From enquiry to credits applied.
The application itself is short. What takes the time is putting a workload plan behind it — AWS funds architecture with a shape, not intentions.
Eligibility check
You send the form below; we confirm which program currently applies to you.
Workload plan
We write the architecture and spend projection AWS wants to see behind the request.
Submission
The application goes in, sponsored by us where the program requires a partner.
AWS review
AWS assesses and responds. We handle any follow-up questions on your behalf.
Credits applied
Credits land in your account, and the workload plan becomes the build plan.
Credit application
Four steps, about five minutes.
Contact details, company details, the tier you qualify for, and linking your AWS account. You can submit without the account ID and add it later — the application still enters the queue.

Why we ask this
AWS requires a named contact who is authorised to act for the company. We use your work email to verify the domain matches the applicant.
It varies by program, by stage, and by what AWS is currently running — which is exactly why we will not print a figure here. We tell you the current amount for the program that fits your situation before you spend time on an application.
Beyond the credits
Credits are runway,
not a strategy.
The teams that get value from them are the ones who architect for what happens when the credits run out. That is the part we are actually here for.
