Microsoft for Startups is making a major change effective June 30th, 2025. The previous credit tiers that allowed unfunded startups to access up to $150k of credits has been replaced with a new program that includes two tiers:
* Startups with an investor affiliate receive Azure credits starting at a value of $100k * Startups without an investor affiliate receive up to $5k of Azure credits.
Prior to this change the tiers a startup could access were: L1- $1000 L2- $5000 L3- $25,000 L4- $150,0000
