Hello @Mark William ,

To increase your Engagement Score on the Microsoft Founders Hub program, especially after exhausting your credits, consider optimizing and expanding your Azure usage by reviewing your current infrastructure and leveraging additional services or scaling existing solutions. Engage with the "Build with AI" tab to explore Azure’s AI capabilities, and if you are already utilizing AI extensively, consider experimenting with additional services that could complement your projects. Additionally, make use of the business tools available in the Benefits tab, as they may help enhance your solution or streamline operations. It is also important to ensure that all tasks in your verification checklist are completed, such as domain verification, providing a product demo video, and proof of funding. By actively utilizing Azure, exploring new services, and making the most of the available resources, you can improve your Engagement Score and maximize the benefits of the Founders Hub program. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for taking the time to help and answer with great detail. Unfortunately, I am not sure if I should keep using a service when they want to use your car,d plus expanding to expand is not wise, so this advice does not help. i have use auzre a lot and even requested for special expansion so I believe one has to simply review how I have used it instead of an automated system and I have redeem major f the benefits so the answer is unfortunately not beneficial.

The engagement score depends on the level of usage of a startup and increases with higher use. The Engagement Score reflects your active usage of Azure and strengthens your partnership with Microsoft. It is available only for startups with Azure credit offers of $25,000 or more in the Founders Hub. For offers of $5,000 or less, no score will be displayed.

The score begins calculating within the first three months after acceptance into the program or approval of a new credit offer. During this period, you’ll see “No score available.” Starting month four, your Engagement Score will appear, helping you track progress and explore new Azure services.
