Unlock more Azure credits – Assistance Needed

Question

Hi There,

We have completed all checks at our current level of Azure credits as part of the Founders Hub Program. Would you please let me know how we can unlock the next levels of credit? Thank you.

Answer 1

Does this mean people cant apply to verify after the original 90 day window? It says nothing about that here? I find it a bit misleading if so. Especially after all the learning and work that has to go into working with your poor systems.

I did try to verify before but they said no as I didnt have a website yet. I made a website but due to ill health its not within 9- days. But there was nothing to say that on that page.

Answer 2

Hi Pradip Fatehpuria

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

All startups are eligible for up to $150,000 in Azure credits. To unlock more Azure credits, ensure you complete the tasks in your verification checklist found on the Home page in Founders Hub.

Accounts with an Azure credit offer of $5,000 or less, can submit a request for more credits in Founders Hub. If you are approved for an Azure credit offer of $25,000 or more, your account is reviewed approximately 45 days before your credits are due to expire. If approved, your account is automatically granted more credits and time in program.
