Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, Benefits

ADMINS 20

Hi all,

We are just getting started with this founders hub program. Could someone help me out with 3 questions:

Did you also need to use LinkedIn login to apply for program? I have created alias on my company admin account, use it to register to LinkedIn and than got approved founders program all good until now. (Note I have used alias email and not actual user account email).
But now I need to redeem my benefits and it ask to login preferably with same account... I cant login with alias and I'm afraid if I login with actual user account email it wont recognize that it is same account. Do you have any recommendations for this case?

"Important: Confirm your Azure sponsored account to get access to your credits Please note that once you confirm the below email address for your Azure sponsorship, you will not be able to change it."

We now have our benefits for stage 2, if we achieve stage 3 in 11 months from now, do we have again 1 y starting from this day we achieved stage 3 or we have what's left from beginning of stage 2? How is timeline of using those benefits?
We are registered Microsoft partner on same tenant (using same accounts and domain) and we are in process of getting requirements to fulfill some designation areas and benefits. Is there some legal/technical issue to have both this programs and benefits on same company/tenant?

Thank you.

Microsoft requires all Microsoft for Startups applicants to have a LinkedIn account. If accepted, they use your LinkedIn profile to help you grow and activate your network. Create a LinkedIn account

when you move to Stage 3, you get new benefits starting from the date you reach Stage 3.

For the login issue, I would recommend you contact Azure support or the Founders Hub program support team.
