My Microsoft for Startups business verification failed, and the documented “Get program support” option is missing from my Azure portal.

I would like to request a manual verification review and securely provide the required business documentation to Microsoft privately.

Could a Microsoft moderator please direct or escalate me to the Microsoft for Startups Program Support / Verification team?

    For Microsoft for Startups verification and program-related issues, the supported path is to submit a request through the Microsoft for Startups support flow rather than asking for public escalation.

    Use the path that matches the startup experience:

    1. If the startup joined after May 29, 2026 and uses the Azure portal:
      • Sign in to the Azure portal.
      • Go to the startup overview page.
      • In Overview, find Your Microsoft team.
      • Select Get program support.
    2. If the startup joined prior to May 29, 2026 and uses the Microsoft for Startups Portal:
      • Sign in to the Microsoft for Startups Portal.
      • Select the ? icon in the top-right corner.
      • Select Submit a Support Ticket.
      • Attach the relevant verification documents or screenshots of the error.

    If the Get program support option is missing in Azure, use the Microsoft for Startups Portal support ticket flow to submit the request privately with the verification documents attached.

    Microsoft for Startups Program Support covers program, benefits, portal, and verification/compliance issues, including business or domain verification. Azure technical support through Help + support in the Azure portal is intended for Azure technical issues such as product errors, billing, subscription issues, outages, and runtime failures, not Microsoft for Startups program verification.
