Startups: Companies that are in their initial stages of business and typically developing a business model and seeking financing.
Microsoft for Startups verification failed, and Preview portal has no Program Support option
My Microsoft for Startups business verification failed with “We couldn’t verify your startup.”
I identified a likely address mismatch between my Microsoft submission and the company’s official records. Our IRS CP 575 and D-U-N-S record both show 505 Church Street Apt 805, Nashville, TN 37219, while the Microsoft verification submission used 555 Church Street Apt 805.
I need the existing Startup Verification reopened or manually reviewed so I can provide the correct supporting documents.
I am using the new Microsoft for Startups PREVIEW experience in Azure Portal. The documented “Your Microsoft Team → Get program support” option is not present. The general Azure Help + Support flow also does not offer Microsoft for Startups or business verification as a service/category.
Could a Microsoft moderator please escalate this privately to Microsoft for Startups Program Support / Business Verification or provide the correct support-request path for the Preview experience?
I can provide our IRS CP 575, D-U-N-S record, Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, and verification-failure screenshot privately.
