Microsoft for Start-ups and Ansarada announce a new global partnership to make it easier and faster for start-ups to raise capital and scale. Ansarada is the first external technology provider to forge such a global partnership with the Microsoft for Start-ups program and will be at the heart of the offering to attendees.
Microsoft for Start-ups helps break down traditional barriers to starting a business with open access to technology, coaching and support. The goal of the program is to create and maintain a healthy ecosystem where partners and customers can successfully collaborate and achieve growth. Startups play a crucial role in a thriving ecosystem due to their exceptional ability to propel entire markets forward.
Ansarada’s AI-powered information governance platform is part of the benefits offered to founders. This will also enable them to make more informed decisions about their fundraising strategy and grow their businesses.
Kirk Safford, Director of Microsoft for Start-ups, said, “ We partner with innovative companies like Ansarada to empower founders and achieve more together. As part of the Microsoft for Start-ups Founders Hub, start-ups can now gain access to Ansarada’s artificial intelligence-powered platform, designed to simplify the process of raising capital.”
Stuart Clout, co-founder of Ansarada, explains: “Aspiring start-ups and small businesses are at the heart of every economy. Nevertheless, existing obstacles to financing and a lack of individual support have often left companies out in the cold. Our unique and modern technology will support company founders to make the right decisions regarding their financing strategies.”
“We’re proud to partner with Microsoft for Start-ups to help new and exciting businesses thrive. We now look forward to being able to support them on their further growth path in the long term.”
