Dear Microsoft for Startups Team,

Being part of the Founders Hub has significantly accelerated our journey. The Azure credits provided have enabled us to build, deploy, and scale our AI infrastructure efficiently while optimising capital allocation during our early growth phase.

As our current benefits are nearing expiry, we are entering a new stage of expansion with increasing Azure consumption driven by active AI workloads in production.

In this context, we would like to formally request:

A 12-month extension of our Founders Hub benefits

Consideration for additional Azure credits beyond the $50,000 already allocated

We remain committed to building and scaling on Azure and expect our infrastructure usage to grow meaningfully in the coming months.

We are happy to provide updated traction metrics, Azure usage details, and our upcoming roadmap to support the review process.

We appreciate the support extended so far and look forward to continuing this partnership.

Regards,
Arpit
