We are thrilled to announce a partnership with Y-Combinator! As a Y-Combinator company (S22), we firsthand know the importance of saving money in a startup. Pump has already signed up more than 50+ YC companies which are saving on their monthly AWS bill.

We cannot wait to help more startups within the Y-Combinator network begin saving up to 60% on their AWS bill. 

Y-combinator is a startup accelerator launched in March 2005, having funded 4000+ startups that are combined valued at $600B including the likes of Airbnb, Stripe, Doordash, Dropbox, and thousands of others. Y-Combinators provides an unmatched unique blend of mentorship, funding, and resources to help startups thrive. 

This exciting move comes as Pump aims to cut startups AWS spending by optimizing their spend with AI, group-buying and more and as Pump Partners with Techstars, another pre-seed investment company.

Our Mission Continues 🚀

“Pump's number one goal is to help founders and startups cut and optimize their cloud costs by sharing benefits. We are so thrilled and for the rest of 2024 and plan to offer many new features and products in 2024 and beyond.
