When it comes to technological innovations, major enterprises and startups need each other to succeed. Startups give larger, more mature companies easier access to cutting-edge technology with greater agility and reduced risk. And when a large enterprise buys into a startup\u2019s product or service, the startup gains the revenue, stability, and credibility they need to fuel growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But finding and connecting with the right partners can be challenging, and in a new frontier like AI, it can be especially daunting\u2014so many AI startups have entered the market in recent years that it\u2019s hard to keep count. By many estimates, there are now more than 10,000<\/a>. How is an enterprise supposed to find its match in such a crowded and confusing space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the multi-layered landscape of AI, large tech firms bridge the gap between startups and enterprises. Microsoft provides the infrastructure and generative AI models that require major investment. Startups specialize in domain-specific, industry-focused applications and tooling. When we work together, it\u2019s a winning combination that results in the kind of enterprise-ready AI that enterprises need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Partner at Microsoft for Startups, I lead a global team in the Pegasus Program<\/strong><\/a>. I always say it\u2019s the best job in the world because we get to help startups make the most of not just the Microsoft stack and models, but also our knowledge, experience, and relationships. The program\u2019s Customer Community<\/strong><\/a> is where we \u201cmatch make\u201d for enterprises and startups to foster exciting new partnerships and co-innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n
