This week, Alex spoke with Hans Yang<\/a>, GM of Microsoft for Startups, and Tom Davis<\/a>, senior director of Microsoft for Startups, about how the tech giant is working to integrate itself more deeply into the startup world, and all things AI.<\/p>\n Microsoft\u2019s startups-facing team made TechCrunch<\/a> recently for its new Pegasus program, which provides a set of benefits to startups that are accepted. That work sits next to Microsoft\u2019s effort to provide capital to up and coming startups through its venture arm.<\/p>\n As traditional venture capital shrinks in a more conservative market<\/a> and founders find themselves reducing costs and looking for ways to expand revenue, working with a tech giant like Microsoft could be enticing. Note startup-facing work is common at big tech companies: Google has a startups program, as does Amazon.<\/p>\n In short, if you are a major cloud player, getting into the good graces of the next technology breakout stories is just good business.<\/p>\n Finally, Microsoft is close with OpenAI, which puts its work on the cloud in a different context than a year ago.<\/p>\n Equity will be back on Friday with our news roundup, then on Monday with our weekly kickoff show, and next Wednesday with an interview that we\u2019re quite excited about.
