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.
