Startups: Companies that are in their initial stages of business and typically developing a business model and seeking financing.
NVIDIA Inception $5K Azure benefit | startup verification failed and Program Support missing
am an accepted NVIDIA Inception member and redeemed NVIDIA's $5,000 Microsoft Azure Cloud Credits partner benefit.
NVIDIA confirms that the benefit request was submitted to Microsoft.
Microsoft created my Startup account and provided the initial $200 Azure credit, but business verification subsequently failed with:
“We couldn't verify your startup.”
There is no reason provided, document-upload option, resubmission option, or “Your Microsoft Team / Get program support” section in the new Microsoft for Startups Preview experience.
I also used aka.ms/startuphelp-mfs-portal. After authentication it simply redirects me back to the same Azure Microsoft for Startups page.
Could a Microsoft moderator please escalate this to Microsoft for Startups Program Support / Business Verification and reopen the verification so I can provide the required legal documentation privately?
I can provide:
- Certificate/Articles of Organization
- EIN documentation
- registered company address
- domain ownership
- proof that LiveYou is a software product developed and owned by MacSoft LLC
- NVIDIA Inception membership and $5,000 benefit confirmation
I will provide business documents privately to an authorized Microsoft representative.
