Hello!

Will Azure Startups match the $100K computing credits that AWS offered us already? If so, we would build our platform on Azure instead as our team has more familiarity with Azure.

    Hi Neal Amin,

    The Azure Startups program, through the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, provides varying levels of cloud credits to eligible startups. Initial credit offerings typically range from $1,000 to $25,000 USD, depending on the specifics of your application. As your startup progresses, you may become eligible for additional credits—up to a total of $150,000 USD.

    To ensure that all credits are applied under the same Azure subscription, it's important that the subscription remains associated with the admin email address used during your Founders Hub registration. If you currently have an Azure Pay-As-You-Go subscription under a different Microsoft account, you have two options: either transfer your sponsorship credits to the account with your existing subscription or request a migration of the subscription to the account where your credits have been applied.

    If your goal is to align with the $100,000 in cloud credits offered by AWS, we recommend contacting the Founders Hub support team directly. They can provide personalized guidance and help you explore options for extending or increasing your Azure credits.
