In a city that sucks every penny from our dust bunny-laden pockets, it’s rare to come across something free that isn’t broken or fixed to some sort of hidden membership fee. Amazon, however, is proving to all New Yorkers that good things don’t always have to come at a price.
In Soho, you can find its AWS Pop-up Loft, which offers free and in-person technical guidance from a professional team of engineers, product managers and architects. It’s the perfect resource for entrepreneurs looking to build a system on Amazon Web Service or to create their own startup.
