Microsoft for Startups Preview — “Your Microsoft Team / Get program support” is missing and Azure activation fails
I’m currently building Recovra and applied for Microsoft for Startups through the Y Combinator benefit.
My Microsoft for Startups Preview dashboard is accessible and shows $1,000 Azure credits remaining, but I cannot see the “Your Microsoft Team” / “Get program support” section described in the Microsoft documentation.
I also tried the official Microsoft for Startups support link, but it redirects me back to the same Microsoft for Startups Preview dashboard.
In addition, when I try to activate Azure, I receive:
“You’re not eligible for an Azure free account.”
Azure Cost Management also shows that I currently have no Azure subscription/billing scope available.
It has now been 3 days since I submitted/applied, and I would like to confirm:
- Is my Microsoft for Startups application fully approved, pending, or stuck?
- Is my Y Combinator investor/referral information correctly attached to my application?
- What Azure credit entitlement is currently associated with my account?
- Can Microsoft for Startups Program Support help reset/complete my Azure activation?
- Is there any issue with my current Microsoft account that is preventing Azure activation?
The documented Your Microsoft Team → Get program support option is not available in my Preview portal, so I cannot submit the program-support request through the documented route.
Could a Microsoft moderator please escalate this to the Microsoft for Startups Program Support / Azure Startup team?
