These initial offerings mark the beginning of a comprehensive series of encouragement initiatives.

Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub

Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub is a platform that helps accelerate innovation by providing access to AI services, expert guidance, and essential technology. Startups can build with AI from day one with free OpenAI credits and Azure AI services and deploy with peace of mind with Azure’s secure and responsible AI infrastructure. Startups can access unlimited 1:1 meetings with experts from Microsoft, M12, and other partners to solve technical and business challenges. Startups can get up to $150k in Azure credits, GitHub Enterprise, VS Code, Microsoft 365, LinkedIn Premium, and more.

Microsoft 365 App Compliance Program

In addition to the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, we’re excited to share the Microsoft 365 App Compliance Program—an opportunity for your Office Add-in to stand out. By completing the Microsoft 365 Certification for your add-in and publishing it, you gain dedicated badges and filters in Microsoft 365 storefronts and admin portals, showcasing your commitment to alleviating customer security concerns. This badge not only enhances visibility but also builds trust with users, making your add-in a preferred choice.
