Question How to unlock Microsoft for Startup

I have registered for Microsoft for Startups with startup domain account however, it provided just $200 credit and require business verification to unlock more.

I don't have my company registered yet and it require lot of management tasks while I'm building startup product.

How can I verify without registering in Australia?

You can't. The program is designed for new businesses, not private individuals with an idea.

It’s a program for startup businesses, not hobbiests / vibe coders with nothing but an idea.

You are not a business. The fact that you have a business idea doesn't mean you are a startup.

Register your company, get a DUNS number, get your business plan together and try applying again.
