Build, scale and de-risk on AWS.

The Vigesimal Accelerator helps early-stage startups build, scale and de-risk on the cloud. As an AWS Activate provider, we pair AWS cloud credits with hands-on engineering mentorship from years of building software, DevOps and SRE practices — so founders move faster on solid technical foundations.
