Microsoft Azure for Startups
Founders Hub tier with extended Azure credits, GitHub Enterprise, Visual Studio, and 1:1 mentorship placement.
- Up to $25K Azure credits
- GitHub Enterprise seats
- Dedicated partner manager
Keystone Venture Grants is the concierge that finds, qualifies and closes the enterprise credits the world's best-funded startups already use: Azure, AWS, NVIDIA, Cloudflare, OpenAI, ElevenLabs and more, for one flat fee. No equity. No retainer. No runaround.
Eligibility: Keystone works exclusively with companies that have AI meaningfully integrated into their product or operations. If your stack runs on GPUs, LLMs, vector databases, voice models, or agentic workflows, you qualify. If it doesn't, we are not the right fit.
Programs we navigate for our clients
The uncomfortable truth
The best-capitalized startups on earth don't pay retail for infrastructure. They run on six-figure stacks of credits, hardware grants and founder perks that most founders don't know exist, can't qualify for alone, or don't have time to chase. We do that work, and we do it as a product, not a mystery.
The Stack
Every client receives a minimum of six approved grants, matched to their stack and stage. Below is a representative example of what a typical cohort unlocks. Your actual package is custom-built after intake.
Founders Hub tier with extended Azure credits, GitHub Enterprise, Visual Studio, and 1:1 mentorship placement.
GPU credits, DGX Cloud discounts, go-to-market co-marketing and priority hardware allocation.
Pro, Business and Enterprise credits across Workers, R2, Stream, Zero Trust, and Pages. A full edge stack.
Premium voice credits, custom voice cloning tier and early access to conversational AI pipelines.
API credits across GPT, embeddings, realtime voice and image, routed through our partner channel.
Activate Portfolio tier credits, Business Support, and AWS IQ placement for your engineering team.
Atlas credits, dedicated advocate, technical review and the Partner Ecosystem listing.
Up to 90% off the first year of Professional or Enterprise Hubs. CRM, marketing, sales, service.
A long tail of founder perks: payments fee waivers, Notion AI credits, Linear seats, Figma, and so on.
Values shown are representative ranges based on prior cohorts. Actual grant amounts are determined by each provider and your qualifying profile. We guarantee a total minimum package value of $50,000.
The math
The Process
A 20-minute call and a short dossier. We profile your company against every active program's eligibility matrix: stage, sector, spend, stack, incorporation, investor signal.
Within 48 hours you receive a bespoke map of the six to twelve grants you qualify for, ranked by ROI, approval probability and time-to-deploy.
Applications, partner warm intros, referral codes, cap table and tech review prep, eligibility waivers. You review and sign. We push the paperwork.
Approvals arrive in days, not months. You deploy credits into production. We stay on retainer-free call until every last grant is activated.
Field Notes
"We had been trying to get into Microsoft for Startups for four months. Apex closed it in nine days and bundled it with NVIDIA and Cloudflare on top. The $999 paid itself back 60×."
"I've raised a Series A and I still didn't know half of these programs existed. This is the most obvious ROI I've ever written a check for."
"$63,500 delivered in twelve days, including GPU credits we'd have paid cash for. They are the adults in the room."
Everything below is included. No upsell, no retainer, no equity. If we don't deliver a minimum of six grants totalling $50,000 or more, you get every dollar back.
The Keystone Package
Secure checkout · priority onboarding within 24 hours
Six grants. $50,000 in delivered value. Or a full, no-questions refund, plus you keep every grant we did close for you. We can afford to make this promise because we've never had to keep it.
FAQ
Keystone is built for companies with AI already live in their product or operations: LLM-powered features, GPU workloads, voice or vision models, vector search, autonomous agents, ML pipelines in production, or similar. Pre-revenue, seed, Series A and profitable bootstrapped teams are all welcome, as long as AI is a core part of what you ship. If AI is only on a roadmap, we are not a fit yet. We will tell you honestly within 20 minutes whether we can hit the guarantee for you.
No. We are a concierge. The grants belong to the providers and to you; our relationship with you is fully paid, transparent and non-equity. Some programs offer us partner referral status, which we use to accelerate approvals for you; we never skim your credits.
Bring us the receipts. We will route around them, pursue tier-upgrades on anything you're under-utilizing, and fill the remainder from the deep bench of less-advertised programs most founders never see.
If 60 days after intake we have not closed six grants totalling $50,000+ in combined credit value, you receive a full refund of your $999. You also keep every grant we did close. That is the entire contract.
Because we run it as a product, not a boutique consultancy. Our intake, scoring and filing pipelines are largely automated, so we can deliver at a price point that's obviously correct for the founder on the other side. Volume is the moat.
Checkout, answer the intake questionnaire, and your onboarding call is booked within 24 hours. Most clients have their first approval in their inbox inside of a week.
