Microsoft for Startups
Microsoft for Startups is a Venture Capital firm.
Part of Microsoft
Microsoft for Startups is Microsoft's global program supporting early-stage founders with free access to Azure cloud credits (up to $150K), AI tools, engineering guidance, and go-to-market support through initiatives such as Founders Hub, Pegasus, and the Scale-Up program. Rather than making direct equity investments like a traditional venture fund, it operates as a corporate startup-acceleration and resource program; Microsoft's dedicated venture-investing arm, M12, handles direct equity investments separately.
