November 5, 2020, London, UK – Cledara, the all-in-one SaaS purchasing and management platform, announced today that it is featured in the new Amazon Web Services (AWS) Activate Console Exclusive Offers program. This means that every startup in the UK and Europe that has, or will receive AWS Activate Credits will have the opportunity to use Cledara at a specially discounted rate.

Cledara joins other well known technology companies such as DataDog, Zendesk, Stripe and HubSpot as founding participants in the program. Inclusion in the Activate Console Exclusive Offers program recognises the critical need for high-growth startups to manage and control the SaaS they use to run their businesses so that they can scale operational processes, comply with regulations like GDPR and save money.

“Inclusion in the AWS Activate Program gives more businesses the ability to manage and automate the administration of the SaaS they use every day.”

“As more companies depend on SaaS to build, launch and scale their businesses, we are excited to help bring visibility and control to their SaaS stack,” said Cristina Vila, Cledara CEO. “Inclusion in the AWS Activate Program gives more businesses the ability to manage and automate the administration of the SaaS they use every day.”

One AWS startup that has already benefited from adopting Cledara is Railsbank, “We’re all looking to tighten our belts in these times and review whether we actually need different types of subscriptions and the various cards. And Cledara just allows us to see all that clearly,” says Sadie McBlain, Financial Controller.

The AWS Activate program provides startups with free credits, training, and technical resources to help them accelerate their growth and development as they build their businesses. From the Activate Console, startups can take advantage of everything AWS has to offer, as well as exclusive discounts, credits, free trials, mentorship opportunities, educational content, and other perks from vetted and approved software vendors such as Cledara.
