The benefits include access to developer and productivity tools such as GitHub Enterprise, Visual Studio Enterprise, and Microsoft 365. Accepted founders will also get mentorship for industry, business, and technical support, as well as access to Microsoft Learn.
“Our aim is to give startups access to the technology that will power their innovation, connect them with customers, and an ecosystem of developers, partners, and investors to help them scale in Asia and beyond,” shared Jesus Martin, chief strategy at Microsoft Asia.
In November 2021, Microsoft teamed up with She Loves Tech, a China- and Singapore-based startup platform, to launch a US$10 million accelerator fund to support 100 women-led firms over the next three years.
