Microsoft for startup

Manual startup verification is not available as a self-service action in the portal based on the documented flow. If a request cannot be sent from the portal, use the official Microsoft for Startups support path instead.

1. Sign in to the Azure Portal.
2. Open Microsoft for Startups.
3. Select the ? icon in the top-right corner.
4. Select Help + support or Create a support request.
5. Attach relevant screenshots or documents showing the verification problem.

For Microsoft for Startups program-specific issues during application or verification, use the program support channel at https://aka.ms/startuphelp-mfs-portal.

If the startup was not approved, the documented guidance is:

• the rejection message may not provide detailed reasons
• submitted applications cannot be edited
• if the application is still pending, use the confirmation email flow to delete and reapply
• if declined, reapply after 14 days

If profile information is wrong and blocking verification, update it in the portal:

1. Sign in to the Azure Portal and go to Microsoft for Startups.
2. Select the gear icon.
3. On My Profile, select Edit for the field to change.
4. Select Save changes.
5. If the email address was changed, complete the verification email step.
