About GrandTech Cloud Services
GrandTech Cloud Services (GCS), a public listed Taiwanese subsidiary (TPEx: 7747) of GrandTech (Limited Partner in AC Ventures SEA Frontier Fund and Headline Asia) that aggregates AWS & GCP. GCS targets start-ups, positioning itself as a connector i.e. "Friend 2 Start-up (F2SU)" to the start-up ecosystem to help them in their growth journey from market access, business matching, funding, and of course cloud infra optimization. GCS currently operates across North Asia (Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong) and Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia) with 2025 expansion plans into Australia and California.
Specifically on cloud infra optimization, we help start-ups that EXISTINGLY using AWS/GCP by matching (or bettering) the on demand rates that they already pay to AWS/GCP today WITHOUT the usage commitment and mandatory enterprise support fees (a % of total bill). We only deal with the billing layer so any credits or existing discounts will get carried over to be applied through GCS ARMIN portal.
