Bucephalus: Accelerating AWS Marketplace Success with CloudSmart

Bucephalus is an early-stage startup specializing in AI solutions tailored for enterprise organizations. With a vision to revolutionize enterprise operations through artificial intelligence, Bucephalus sought to rapidly establish its presence in the AWS Marketplace to reach a broader customer base and streamline its sales processes.

CloudSmart simplified the journey into the AWS Marketplace in a guided multi-day workshop. Bucephalus was able to design, build, and list a marketplace listing.
