Cloud Scal3 Better Together

Better Together

We partner with like-minded companies and entrepreneurs who are driving AWS AI adoption by building and marketing innovative solutions deployed on AWS.

Cloud Scal3 Better Together partners are complementary by design. We extend what they deliver, and they extend what we deliver, so the customer gets a more complete picture of AWS governance than either company could provide alone.

What We Look For

The right partner is not just any AWS ISV. It is a specific kind of builder.

Cloud Scal3 Better Together partnerships are selective. We look for companies and founders solving a real governance or adoption problem on AWS, for business teams, with AWS-native architecture.

Built on AWS

Products that run inside the customer's AWS account. Not multi-cloud tools with an AWS connector. AWS-native from the architecture up.

Built for business teams

Solutions designed for the people who own budgets and outcomes, not just the engineers who own infrastructure. The non-technical team is the user.

Accelerates AWS AI adoption

Products that make AWS AI workloads more governable, more accessible, or more economically sound for the organizations deploying them.

Complementary by design

Solutions that extend what Cloud Scal3 delivers rather than overlap with it. Two control planes closing different gaps for the same customer.

Who 1P Activator Is For
Non-Endemic Brands

CPG, retail, financial services, and insurance brands that advertise on Amazon but do not sell there. You have the customer data. 1P Activator connects it to Amazon.

Performance Agencies

Agencies running Amazon campaigns for multiple clients who need a scalable platform to activate first-party data and deliver insights without a data engineering team.

Mid-Market Amazon Advertisers

Brands spending $500K to $5M+ annually on Amazon Ads who are sophisticated enough to know first-party data matters but need the shortcut to activation.

Cloud Scal3 and The Impact Lab co-developed 1P Activator as a joint solution. Cloud Scal3 builds and operates the agentic application layer on Amazon Quick and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime. The Impact Lab delivers the AMC pipeline, query library, and onboarding. One engagement. One delivery team. Both layers live.

Built on AWS

Both products are AWS-native. Your data never leaves your environment.

FinOps Center is deployed via CloudFormation from AWS Marketplace into your AWS account. Marketplace Central is a serverless application deployed into your delegated AWS account. Neither product requires cross-account data egress.
