When we launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/startups?rtc=1\">Founders Hub<\/a> in March 2022, we aimed to remove the barriers to startup success by giving founders at any stage free resources to help build a successful startup \u2013 from Azure credits to expert guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since we\u2019ve launched, our focus has been to continue building value for our startups. We\u2019ve met with hundreds of founders &#8211; from those just starting companies to those with successful exits &#8211; to better understand their needs and challenges. From those conversations we\u2019ve added a host of new benefits \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/startups\/blog\/trusted-partner-benefits\/\">from access to GPT-3 models with Open AI<\/a>, to no-code tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/startups\/blog\/bubble-founders-hub\/\">Bubble<\/a> \u2013 and will continue to add new benefits to help our startups succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the challenges we heard again and again were the pains of hiring talent, finding customers and networking with peers and investors.
