FAQ

How does Cloud Capital differ from Pump’s group buying model?

Pump pools AWS commitments across companies, a practice AWS has restricted. Cloud Capital delivers sustainable savings through AWS-approved methods without pooling or redistribution risk.

What happens if AWS changes its policies again?

Because Cloud Capital only uses compliant strategies, your savings remain safe and predictable even as AWS evolves.

Can Cloud Capital deliver discounts as large as Pump?

Our focus is on long-term, sustainable savings that Finance can trust. Pump’s discounts may appear steep but are exposed to policy risk—Cloud Capital’s savings are predictable and board-ready.

How does Cloud Capital support Finance specifically?

We tie cloud usage directly to financial drivers, giving CFOs clarity while still empowering Engineering to retain technical control.

How does Cloud Capital price its platform and make money?

We only make money when you save money. Cloud Capital’s pricing is tied to a percentage of the savings we generate for you—there are no upfront platform fees or long-term contracts. This means our incentives are fully aligned with yours.
