Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub

Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub is Microsoft's startup-support route for companies building on Azure. It sits under Microsoft Corporation and gives founders a self-service way to enter the Microsoft ecosystem, with rolling access rather than a deadline-driven competition. The package is in-kind only and can reach $150,000 in Azure credits, tiered by stage and investor status. It also includes GitHub Enterprise, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, Visual Studio Enterprise, Azure services, and access to Microsoft's enterprise customer network, marketplace placement, and co-sell support. Eligibility centers on startups with a tech product, typically from pre-seed through Series B, and investor referral codes can unlock higher credit tiers. The practical fit is a for-profit team that wants cloud credits, technical guidance, and go-to-market support while applying directly rather than through a scored grant round. Applications are rolling and self-service, so founders can move from signup into active use without waiting for a fixed deadline or review panel.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
