亚马逊云科技11月9日宣布每年向PenFed军人英雄基金会提供最高60万美元云额度：支持退伍军人创业项目，该项目自2018年已扶持约350名创始人
亚马逊云科技（AWS）11 月 9 日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡宣布，承诺每年向 PenFed 军人英雄基金会提供最高 60 万美元的 AWS 技术额度，支持该基金会「退伍军人创业项目」（Veteran Entrepreneur Program，VEP）中的初创企业。这项宣布是在 2026 年 VEP 加速器队列活动上作出的，退伍军人与军人配偶创始人聚集在匹兹堡参加一个关于创办、扩张与融资企业的密集项目。
AWS 表示，通过这项承诺，VEP 创始人可获得 AWS Activate 额度以抵消在云上构建的成本，并获得技术指导与市场进入支持；额度可用于基础设施、数据服务和超级智能（SI）／机器学习工作负载，包括通过 Amazon Bedrock 提供的第三方模型。
退伍军人创业项目主任、退役海军陆战队准将特里·威廉姆斯（Terry Williams）说：「我们的退伍军人与军人配偶创始人已经证明他们能在压力下领导、解决难题。他们需要的是机会，而这项承诺提供的正是机会。」AWS 非营利业务董事总经理里克·比特纳（Rick Buettner）说：「这是一个以服务为定义的群体，AWS 很荣幸能支持它。」
该基金会表示，退伍军人创业项目自 2018 年以来已通过投资者、导师与领域专家网络，扶持全美约 350 名退伍军人与军人配偶创始人；该项目采用孵化器与加速器双轨模式。本期匹兹堡加速器队列于 11 月 2 日至 6 日举行，创始人来自国防、医疗、机器人、金融科技与消费品等领域，其中许多人在构建超级智能（SI）驱动的解决方案。
PenFed 军人英雄基金会成立于 2001 年，是一家支持退伍军人从军旅向平民生活成功过渡的全国性非营利组织，与 PenFed 信用合作社有关联；该基金会表示，它已向退伍军人、现役军人与军人家庭提供超过 5,500 万美元的资金支持。

AWS Announces on November 9 Up to $600,000 a Year in Cloud Credits for the PenFed Foundation's Veteran Entrepreneur Program, Which Has Supported About 350 Found
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on November 9, 2026, a commitment to The PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes of up to $600,000 per year in AWS technology credits to support startups in the Foundation's Veteran Entrepreneur Program (VEP), AWS said. The announcement was made at the 2026 VEP Accelerator Cohort in Pittsburgh, where veteran and military-spouse founders gather for an intensive program on building, scaling and funding their businesses.
Through the commitment, VEP founders gain access to AWS Activate credits to help offset the cost of building on the cloud, along with technical guidance and go-to-market support, AWS said. The credits can be applied to infrastructure, data services and AI/ML workloads, including third-party models available through Amazon Bedrock.
"Our veteran and military-spouse founders have already proven they can lead under pressure and solve hard problems. What they need is access, and access is exactly what this commitment delivers," said Brigadier General Terry Williams, USMC (Ret.), Director of Veteran Entrepreneur Programs. "This is a community defined by service, and one which AWS is honored to support," said Rick Buettner, Managing Director of Nonprofits at Amazon Web Services.
Since 2018, the Veteran Entrepreneur Program has supported approximately 350 veteran and military-spouse founders nationwide through a network of investors, mentors and subject-matter experts, the Foundation said. The program runs a two-track model — Incubator and Accelerator. Founders in the current Pittsburgh Accelerator cohort, which took place on November 2-6, span defense, healthcare, robotics, fintech and consumer products, and many are building AI-driven solutions.
The PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes, founded in 2001, is a national nonprofit organization that supports veterans in their transition from service to success in civilian life and is affiliated with PenFed Credit Union. The Foundation says it has provided more than $55 million in financial support to veterans, active-duty service members and military families.
