Funding-to-Product AI Accelerator

Turn an AI idea into a fundable, governed product.

AI FoundryCamp helps startups and businesses become AWS-funding-ready, define measurable AI products, build with RAG, GenAI and Agentic AI, deploy a working pilot, and create evidence for the next stage of growth.

Business Experience → AI Opportunity

You bring the experience. We help uncover the AI opportunity.

Start with a focused 15–30 minute discovery session in a small group of approximately five participants. We work with you to identify meaningful business problems from your own industry and professional experience—then turn the strongest opportunity into an AI project plan that can be positioned for applicable AWS funding or credits.

DISCOVER · DESIGN · FUND · BUILD

A short conversation can become a real AI project.

You do not need to arrive with an AI idea. Start with a business problem you understand. We help structure the opportunity around users, business value, measurable KPIs, project scope, cloud architecture and an implementation roadmap.

THE AI HOUSE

Understand RAG, GenAI and Agentic AI like building a house.

For PNP-BAI Product Type implementations, we explain the three complementary AI layers using a memorable house analogy:

🍳

Kitchen — RAG AI

Brings trusted enterprise and industry knowledge into the product so AI can work with grounded, relevant context.

KNOWLEDGE LAYER
🛁

Bathroom — GenAI

Transforms context into useful intelligence, summaries, recommendations, content and structured business outputs.

INTELLIGENCE LAYER
🛋️

Living Room — Agentic AI

Coordinates tools, workflows, actions and human approvals so intelligence can move into controlled execution.

ACTION LAYER
This three-layer PNP-BAI model reflects the broader industry movement from generative AI toward reasoning and agentic AI highlighted by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in his San Jose keynote. AI FoundryCamp uses RAG AI, GenAI and Agentic AI together as complementary layers of a business AI product.
PATH 1
Build It Your Way

Use your own architecture, cloud services, development process and preferred AI tools to move from prototype through testing and production.

PATH 2
Build with PNP-BAI

Walk through a Business Atomic Intelligence Product Type using RAG AI + GenAI + Agentic AI to turn trusted knowledge into governed business action.

PATH 3
Build with EAAP

Use the Enterprise AI Architecture Platform for a more governed path with architecture, model/tool orchestration, security, approvals, testing, deployment and evidence.

The Program

Not just AI training. A path from business problem to production.

Participants progress through a common foundation, then choose either a reusable Business Atomic Intelligence product path or a custom AI-product path.

0

Intake

Company, team, AWS account, domain and business problem.

1

AWS Funding Readiness

Prepare company and project for applicable AWS startup credit programs.

2

Cloud Foundation

AWS environment, source repository, security baseline and initial architecture.

3

Business Product Definition

Industry → line of business → problem → users → measurable KPIs.

4

Choose a Build Path

PNP-BAI Business Product or a custom AI product.

5

Build

EAAP-governed workflow or assisted development with modern AI engineering tools.

6

Pilot

Deploy a bounded MVP with measurable business outcomes.

7

Evidence

Architecture, security, testing, usage, cost and value evidence.

8

Growth Readiness

Use demonstrated progress to pursue higher-tier credits or other funding where eligible.

9

Scale

Production governance, agents, integrations, observability and commercialization.

Two Build Paths

Start with a proven pattern—or build your own.

PATH A · FASTEST TO PROOF OF VALUE

PNP-BAI Business Product

For teams with a business problem that do not want to invent an AI architecture from scratch.

  • Define Business Product Type and KPIs
  • Configure enterprise and industry knowledge
  • RAG retrieval and grounded context
  • GenAI reasoning and Business Atomic Intelligence
  • Agentic workflows with human approval
Enterprise / Industry Data → RAG → GenAI → Business Atomic Intelligence → Agentic AI → Human Approval / Action
PATH B · CUSTOM PRODUCT

Build Your Own AI Product

For teams pursuing a differentiated AI solution in cybersecurity, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, logistics and other sectors.

  • Business goal and measurable KPI
  • Requirements and solution architecture
  • Models, agents, RAG and integrations
  • Implementation, testing and deployment
  • EAAP governance or a manual toolchain
Goal → KPI → Requirements → Architecture → Models & Agents → Implementation → Test → Deploy → Measure
YOUR JOURNEY

Your AI Development Paths: Build, Govern, Scale

Organizations have different starting points and needs for their AI initiatives. Choose the development path that best matches your current maturity, desired control and governance requirements.

AI FoundryCamp development paths: Build It Your Way, Build with PNP-BAI, and Build with EAAP
Build It Your WayRapid prototyping and production using your preferred architecture, cloud services and AI tools.
Build with PNP-BAICombine RAG, GenAI and Agentic AI through the Business Atomic Intelligence Product Type.
Build with EAAPMove toward enterprise governance, orchestration, security, approvals and auditability.
Modern AI Engineering

Use the right AI tool for each stage.

Projects may use EAAP for governed orchestration or a carefully controlled toolchain that can include Amazon Bedrock, Kiro, Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other engineering tools selected for the project.

01 · GENAI

Reason & Create

Model-assisted analysis, content generation, structured decisions and application features.

02 · RAG

Ground in Your Data

Retrieve trusted enterprise knowledge and provide relevant context to AI applications.

03 · AGENTIC AI

Act with Controls

Orchestrate tools and workflows with permissions, observability and human approval where needed.

AWS Funding Readiness

Build evidence that strengthens the next funding conversation.

Current AWS Activate landscape

AWS currently offers startup credits through AWS Activate. AI FoundryCamp can help a participant organize the technical and business evidence needed for an application, but AWS alone determines eligibility and approval.

Activate FoundersFor qualifying self-funded startups. AWS currently advertises an initial $1,000 in credits, with select participants potentially qualifying for up to $5,000.
Activate PortfolioFor qualifying startups affiliated with an AWS Activate Provider and using the provider's Organization ID. AWS currently advertises credits up to $200,000 depending on eligibility and startup stage.
AI Startup GrowthAWS states that additional credits may be available for AI startups ready to scale beyond Activate tiers; engagement with AWS or an account team may be required.

Important: AI FoundryCamp is an independent service and is not AWS or an AWS credit-granting entity. No funding or credit amount is guaranteed. Program terms, eligibility and amounts can change.

About AI FoundryCamp

Where AI learning becomes AI delivery.

AI FoundryCamp is a funding-to-product accelerator for startups, founders and business teams. We combine business-value discovery, cloud funding readiness, reusable AI product patterns and modern AI engineering so participants can progress from an idea to a governed, measurable pilot and a credible path to scale.

Business First

Every engagement starts with a business problem and measurable outcomes—not a model looking for a use case.

Build for Evidence

Architecture, tests, security, costs and KPI results are treated as first-class deliverables.

Govern for Scale

Teams can progress from rapid experimentation to controlled enterprise delivery through EAAP-style governance.
