Microsoft for Startups: standard application path

Microsoft

Starts with US$1,000 Azure credit for 90 days; verified companies can receive an additional US$4,000 valid for 180 days. The broader program advertises progressive access up to US$150,000 in Azure credits plus software benefits as milestones and usage criteria are met.

Eligibility

Privately held for-profit company building and owning a software-based product/service; headquartered in an Azure-supported market; not Series C or later; lifetime Microsoft startup Azure credits no more than US$350,000; excludes agencies/consultancies, education/government and crypto-mining businesses.

What EBG would check

Publish with the official application link and re-check material terms on the scheduled refresh date.

Risks and conditions

US$150,000 is a progressive maximum, not an automatic initial award. Benefit levels depend on verification, product progress, service adoption and Azure usage.
