Is OpenAI credits available as part of startup benefits?

Question

So I wonder do we have OpenAI credits available as part of startup benefits? I read somewhere that $2500 credits can be availed.

I raised a support ticket as well - 2505140040002273

Answer 1

Hi Selva saravana kumar,

We’d like to inform you that OpenAI benefits are no longer available through the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub program. This change is part of a broader update to Microsoft’s partner benefit offerings, which are periodically reviewed and adjusted to ensure they continue to deliver the most value to participating startups.

While the direct OpenAI benefits have been discontinued under the Founders Hub, startups can still access and utilize Azure OpenAI services using their Azure Sponsorship credits. Microsoft remains committed to supporting startups and continuously evaluates its offerings to better align with evolving needs.

Hello Selva saravana kumar,

Thanks for your question

Did some research and to my knowledge, This is no longer offered. See thread here where it was confirmed by some other users:

However, you still have the option to access OpenAI models via Azure OpenAI studio using your Azure credits.
