THE PREMIUM FOUNDER EXPERIENCE
Build your next chapter.
With good company.
Microsoft for Startups and HubSpot for Startups are confirmed Founder Mode partners. Our partner collection is continually growing.
Founder Mode’s partner referrals and activation guidance are part of the optional US$199 Premium package. Applying to the show is free, and you can upgrade later. Partner eligibility is separate from casting.
CONFIRMED PARTNERS. MORE ON THE WAY.
One package.
A growing collection.
Microsoft for Startups and HubSpot for Startups are confirmed partners. Additional partnerships and resources are in development across cloud, AI, sales and marketing, productivity, finance and founder learning.
Premium participants will have access to all confirmed offers included in the package as the collection grows during the season. Each provider sets its own eligibility, redemption, availability and commercial terms.
Partner access means the opportunity to explore and apply to included offers; it does not mean unlimited access to every provider product. Credits are not cash and do not have a guaranteed aggregate value.
Build on Azure with
Microsoft for Startups.
Eligible Founder Mode Premium startups can access $25,000 in Azure credits through our referral offer. After passing our initial partner-offer eligibility screening, eligible Premium participants receive a referral code and instructions for Microsoft’s verification and credit activation process.
Finalist selection is not required for this starting offer. Founder Mode referral support is included in Premium; Microsoft verification and approval are still required.
