Week 62 after press release Auditstage × Microsoft The secret is finally out 🤩 Today, I am incredibly proud to announce that Auditstage has entered into an exceptional sponsorship program with Microsoft. The program comes with 200.000 USD in equity-free funding, together with strategic support to accelerate the deployment of our auditing platform on Microsoft Azure. Anyone who has ever raised funding knows how difficult it is to convince others to believe in your vision. Every euro has to be earned. That is exactly why this milestone means so much to me. What makes it even more remarkable is the scale of the sponsorship itself. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare, especially for a Belgian startup at our stage. More importantly, this partnership marks the beginning of a new strategic chapter for Auditstage. Our platform fully runs on Microsoft Azure and will be available through the Microsoft Marketplace, allowing us to reach organizations across one of the world's largest enterprise ecosystems. We have always believed that building software for the enterprise requires operating in enterprise mode ourselves. Today, that vision takes another significant step forward And none of this would have happened without SuperNova. It was there that we met the right people from Microsoft. People we would almost certainly never have met otherwise. One introduction led to another, and eventually to a partnership that will help shape the next chapter of Auditstage. I am therefore incredibly grateful to our investor Smartfin, and especially to Jürgen Ingels for giving us the opportunity to exhibit at the Smartfin stand. It was an extraordinarily generous gesture that gave us visibility we could never have created on our own. They attracted the right people, opened the right doors, and allowed us to be exactly where opportunity found us. This is also why I believe every founder should have SuperNova in their calendar. You never know which conversation will change the future of your company. To celebrate this milestone, we are giving away one ticket to SuperNova 2027. Simply like this post and share it with your network with your reason to be at SuperNova next year One winner will be contacted personally during the last week of September Stay tuned for next week's update, Natalia
