Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub

Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub is a zero-equity support program and digital platform administered by Microsoft that provides companies with cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence tools, and technical guidance. Operating with rolling admissions and no application deadlines, the initiative utilizes a tiered progression system granting participants up to $150,000 in Azure cloud credits over four years. The platform supplies up to $2,500 in OpenAI credits, alongside integrated developer software and partner benefits from recognizable technology entities including GitHub, LinkedIn, and Bubble. Eligible applicants must be privately held, for-profit businesses developing a core software product that have not yet raised Series C capital or received more than $350,000 in lifetime Azure credits. This resource is intended for early-stage to growth-stage software founders seeking essential cloud computing resources and technical expertise to build, scale, and commercialize their products.
