Vibe Village Secures Additional $5,000 in AWS Activate Credits, Strengthening Infrastructure for AI-Powered Social Music Experiences
Vibe Village — the first AI-powered, SharePlay-driven mobile music battle and listening platform — is proud to announce it has been awarded an additional $5,000 in AWS Activate credits through Mercury Bank, an AWS Activate Provider. This new milestone further empowers Vibe Village’s commitment to building emotionally resonant, socially connected music experiences at scale.
“This additional investment from AWS and Mercury reinforces the technical foundation we’ve built and the future we envision,” said Ed Clark, Founder of Vibe Village. “With every step forward, we’re proving that innovative, family-centered digital experiences can be both meaningful and massively scalable.”
Building on its acceptance into the AWS Startups Program earlier this month, Vibe Village will use these credits to deepen its technical capabilities, including:
Expanding real-time analytics through Amazon QuickSight and Amazon Q (GenAI natural language insights)
Enhancing mobile testing and quality assurance with AWS Device Farm
Accelerating AI-driven battle commentary, adaptive trivia, and curated listening session personalization
Vibe Village remains fully serverless, leveraging AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway, CloudFront, and Route 53, and is now exploring NVIDIA NeMo and generative music technologies as part of its roadmap to deliver next-generation musical engagement.
This growing support from AWS reflects a broader demand for interactive, AI-enhanced, family-first entertainment experiences — bridging generations, geographies, and tastes through the universal language of music.
Accepted into NVIDIA Inception
In May 2025, Vibe Village Entertainment, Inc. was officially accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Program — a global community of startups pushing the boundaries of AI and accelerated computing.
This milestone validates our vision for applying NVIDIA NeMo and Triton Inference Server to deliver real-time, artist-aware trivia, adaptive commentary, and generative audio experiences.
With AWS powering our infrastructure and NVIDIA supporting our AI roadmap, Vibe Village is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of AI-powered social music engagement.

The Founder
Ed Clark didn’t just build Vibe Village—he rebuilt himself.
After leading major technology initiatives at The Home Depot and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Ed encountered unexpected professional roadblocks, personal loss, and a stunning episode of mistaken identity that tested his reputation and resilience.
Refusing to be defined by adversity, Ed boldly decided to invest in himself when the odds were stacked highest. From that crucible came Vibe Village—not just a music platform, but a bold new vision to redefine how people connect, compete, and celebrate music together
