Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I only seeing $200 in Azure credits?
The $200 credit is the standard Azure Free account allocation. This usually happens if your Founders Hub benefits haven't been properly linked to your Azure subscription, or if the linking process is still pending.
How long does it take for Founders Hub credits to appear?
It can sometimes take a few days for backend synchronization to complete after you accept the Founders Hub offer and link your Azure account. If it takes longer, you should contact Azure Startups support.
Can I use standard Microsoft support for Founders Hub issues?
It is highly recommended to use the Azure Startups section on Microsoft Q&A, as standard support agents might not have direct access to Founders Hub eligibility and credit provisioning tools.
