Backed by the Best: How AWS, Microsoft, and NVIDIA Power Apivom
Apivom is backed by AWS Startups, Microsoft for Startups, and NVIDIA Inception — learn how these partnerships deliver enterprise-grade AI infrastructure to every B2B customer.
Backed by the Best: How AWS, Microsoft, and NVIDIA Power Apivom's AI-First B2B Platform
Building enterprise software is expensive. Building AI-native enterprise software is even more demanding — it requires GPU compute, scalable cloud infrastructure, and access to the latest foundation models. That is exactly why strategic partnerships with the world's leading technology companies matter.
Apivom is proud to be backed by three of the most respected startup programs in the technology industry: AWS Startups, Microsoft for Startups, and NVIDIA Inception. These are not just logos on a page — they represent real infrastructure credits, technical mentorship, and ecosystem access that directly shape how we build our B2B platform.
AWS Startups: Cloud-Native from Day One
AWS Startups (formerly AWS Activate) is one of the largest cloud startup programs in the world, having supported over 350,000 startups since its inception. Companies like Airbnb, Dropbox, and Stripe used this program during their early growth stages.
What the Program Provides
- Up to $100,000 in AWS credits for eligible startups
- Free technical training and certification paths
- Dedicated startup solution architects
- AWS Support plans coverage
- Introductions to AWS-backed venture partners
How Apivom Leverages AWS
Our API Gateway (Atlas) runs natively on AWS infrastructure. The credits allow us to invest in:
- High-availability compute for real-time API orchestration
- S3-compatible storage through Apivom Blob, which speaks the S3 protocol natively
- Operational maturity — idempotent jobs, circuit breakers, and structured observability that align with AWS Well-Architected Framework principles
For our customers, this means enterprise-grade reliability without enterprise-grade pricing.
Microsoft for Startups: Azure, AI, and Enterprise Reach
Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub is Microsoft's flagship program for B2B builders. It is designed for startups at seed through Series B stages with a lifetime credit cap of $350,000.
What the Program Provides
- Up to $150,000 in Azure credits
- $5,000 in OpenAI / Azure OpenAI credits for AI development
- GitHub Enterprise, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, and Visual Studio Enterprise licenses
- 1:1 technical advisors and AI infrastructure guidance
- Co-sell pathways into the Microsoft commercial marketplace
How Apivom Leverages Microsoft
Our flagship product Apivom IrisOne runs on Azure and integrates deeply with the Microsoft ecosystem:
- Microsoft Graph integration for license and usage data ingestion
- Microsoft CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) and Partner Center data through Atlas
- Entra ID (Azure AD) SSO for enterprise identity management
- Azure Key Vault compatible secret architecture
- Application Insights for structured logging and observability
This means our customers — many of whom already live in the Microsoft stack — get a B2B platform that feels native to their existing IT environment.
NVIDIA Inception: AI That Ships to Enterprise
NVIDIA Inception is the world's largest AI startup program, supporting over 25,000 AI-first companies globally. Unlike many accelerators, Inception takes no equity and charges no fees.
What the Program Provides
- Preferred pricing on NVIDIA hardware and DGX Cloud
- Free credits on the NVIDIA developer platform
- Technical training through the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute
- Curated introductions through the NVIDIA Inception VC Alliance (includes Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, and Bessemer)
How Apivom Leverages NVIDIA
Our AI capabilities are not demo-ware — they ship to production in enterprise B2B workflows:
- Apivom Pivot transforms natural-language questions into SQL queries and visual dashboards, powered by LLM infrastructure
- Apivom Abu (our AI agent framework) orchestrates long-running tasks, tool use, and structured AI workflows for operations teams
- Customer success scoring, churn signals, and deal intelligence surface directly inside IrisOne — where sales reps already work
Inception membership gives us deep-tech access that keeps these features competitive and cost-efficient at scale.
Why This Matters for Our Customers
These partnerships are not about prestige. They translate into tangible benefits for every Apivom customer:
| Benefit | How |
|---|---|
| Lower cost | Infrastructure credits keep our pricing competitive |
| Faster innovation | Early access to new AI models and cloud services |
| Enterprise trust | Program membership signals operational maturity to procurement teams |
| Multi-cloud flexibility | AWS + Azure foundation means no single-vendor lock-in |
| Production AI | NVIDIA tools power real features, not experimental chatbots |
The Ecosystem Beyond "Backed By"
In addition to these accelerator programs, Apivom maintains active partnerships with:
- Autodesk — Member of the Autodesk Developer Network for deep PWS data integration
- Meta — Business Partner participant for advertising and Conversions API
- Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program — ISV-path member for Graph and Partner Center
- Salesforce — Partner Program ISV Exchange member for CRM data workflows
These partnerships mean that when you adopt Apivom's platform, you are getting a system that is already connected to the ecosystems your business depends on.
