> A startup doesn't need AWS right off the bat. Planning for scale right from the beginning is a way to quickly bleed $. Of course, if you have VC money, why not spend that cash right?

Especially when the alternative is to hear a lot of, "What? You don't expect to scale? I thought you took this seriously."

OVH and Hetzner could probably provide you with at least 100 top of the line servers within 24h (just guessed that, it's probably more). With a reasonable setup, that's much more than any start up will need to scale.
