Pegasus program bridges gap between startups and enterprise challenges.
Microsoft has launched the Pegasus Program, a two-year incubator initiative for startups that are already active in the company's Founders Hub and have customer-facing products built on the Microsoft Cloud. The program will award up to $350,000 in Azure, GitHub and LinkedIn credits, as well as backing from advisors and access to Microsoft's tech. Startups chosen for Pegasus are assigned a vertical lead to generate sales opportunities and act as an advisor, and receive a dedicated cloud solution architect to support their technical success. There is no limit to the number of startups that can join Pegasus, but special attention will be paid to those in industries like healthcare, AI, retail and cybersecurity.
