Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub

What you get

Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub starts everyone at $1,000 in Azure credits instantly, unlocks $5,000 after verification, and goes up to $150,000 for funded startups — plus GitHub Enterprise, Microsoft 365, and OpenAI model credits through Azure.

Who qualifies

• The base tier requires no VC funding and no revenue — solo founders and bootstrapped teams qualify.
• You need a software or SaaS product that you own, and to not have raised beyond Series C.

How to claim

1. Sign up at startups.microsoft.com with a Microsoft account.
2. Describe what you're building — a landing page or prototype helps verification.
3. Credits unlock in tiers as you use them and verify your company.
