亚马逊抓取挑战

Amazon Web Services has announced the finalists for its Startup Challenge. The competition, which is designed to showcase web startups that utilize Amazon’s web services stack, will award one winner with $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in AWS credits, as well as a potential investment offer from Amazon.

亚马逊网络服务宣布了其启动挑战赛的决赛入围者。该竞赛旨在展示利用亚马逊网络服务堆栈的网络初创企业，将向一名获奖者颁发50,000美元现金和50,000美元AWS积分，以及来自亚马逊的潜在投资提议。

Amazon is in the midst of creating videos about each startup that will be published soon, and the public will be able to vote on their favorites. The voting doesn’t determine the winner, however. Rather, each finalist will be flown to Seattle later this month to pitch a judging panel at Amazon and submit to a Q&A about their business model and use of Amazon web services. The winner will be announced on November 20th at an event in Seattle.

亚马逊正在创建有关每个创业公司的视频，这些视频将很快发布，公众将能够对他们的最爱进行投票。但是，投票并不能决定获胜者。相反，每个决赛入围者都将在本月晚些时候飞往西雅图，任命亚马逊评审团成员，并提交有关其商业模式和Amazon Web服务使用情况的问答。获奖者将于11月20日在西雅图的活动上宣布。

Last year, 900 startups entered a similar competition and video management and ad-serving company Ooyala walked away with the top prize.
