Mobile payment technology provider Stripe has co-established Japan-based startup support program Go_SaaS to promote software-as-a-service (SaaS) and subscription services.
Digital identity technology provider Auth0 and automated testing software developer CircleCI have co-launched the initiative.
Go_SaaS will support independent software vendors and startups that intend to set up software-as-a-service platforms and subscription-based businesses. The scheme will provide access to computing platform Amazon Web Services.
More than 100 software-as-a-service developers are set to benefit from the program, accessing consultation and technical support from the three companies.
Stripe will issue coupons up to ¥2.5m ($22,000) to help introduce its payment system, while AWS Japan will grant access to its verification fee support program for participants subscribed to the AWS Partner Network.
