AWS for Startups Brno

Building a startup is exciting, but it’s also about making the right decisions early on. What to build, how to scale and where to invest time and money.

Cloud can accelerate all of that. But only if it’s done right.

AWS for Startups Brno is a one-day event for founders, engineers, and investors who want a clearer view on how startups actually build and scale today.

You’ll hear real stories from startups, learn how teams approach infrastructure & AI, and get a better understanding of what works when you’re growing fast. Along the way, you’ll also see how the right setup, support, and funding options can help you move faster without unnecessary overhead.

A few realities shaping today’s startup world:

• What works for your first 100 users won’t hold for 10,000
• Cloud costs scale fast, especially if you’re not tracking them early
• Teams lose momentum when engineers spend more time on infrastructure than product

This event is about making sense of that and turning it into practical advantage.

​Who Should Attend

• Founders raising capital and trying to move faster without burning cash
• CTOs, engineers and platform teams scaling infrastructure under real pressure
• VCs and ecosystem players looking to connect with startups that are actually building
