A recent column in VentureBeat by Baris Karadogan, a partner at ComVentures, discusses Amazon.com’s latest initiative to provide early stage businesses with storage and other tech and logistical services.
The article reveals that Amazon wants to offer start-ups and other technology-based companies a smorgasboard of bandwidth, storage, server software and even fulfillment of physical goods — all services which Amazon.com has mastered — and all offered at a very competitive price.
Start-up companies don’t typically state in their business plans that “we are thinking of raising $500K to launch our web site and about $700M to build a global data center.” This is the need which Amazon wants to serve.
