how do i get access to the investor community (the Microsoft for Startups Investor Network)?

Hello @Hassan Ahmad

It sounds like you’re looking to maintain access to Azure credits through the Microsoft for Startups Investor Network, which is a great resource for startups. To gain access to the investor community, you’ll need to be affiliated with an investor who is part of the Microsoft for Startups Investor Network. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t publicly share which investors are involved, so your best bet is to reach out directly to your investor (whether it’s an accelerator or a VC) to get a referral code.

Once you have that referral code, you can sign up for the Microsoft for Startups Investor Offer. Here’s how you can go about it:

1. Get your referral code from your investor.
2. Visit startups.microsoft.com.
3. Click on Get started now and enter the referral code to begin the application process.

After you submit your application, it should be reviewed within three business days, and you’ll receive a decision via email.

Here are some additional resources you might find helpful:

• Microsoft for Startups Homepage
• Applying for the Microsoft for Startups Investor Offer
• Microsoft for Startups Investor Network FAQs

Hope this helps, and best of luck with your startup journey! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks
