#2It gives you a credit of $1,000 monthly for 2 years, but there's no real indication anywhere on Github of exactly what that pays for?
So it's not really free.
How does this compare with Gitlab and Bitbucket offerings for small teams?
I know Bitbucket has a one-time payment option for their self-hosted version of $10 for 10 users. Pretty hard to beat that, unless you're adamant you need it hosted for you.

Random screenshot I was able to find on their help page. Seems to be that the pricing for github enterprise is around $21/month/user.

#5Interesting, it looks like Microsoft has finally realized how unpopular they are among SV style startups. I’ve never been a fan of Windows but if there are enough perks in the program I would seriously consider using a Microsoft stack for a future startup.

So basically up 47 free users for 2 years. Not bad.

I use Azure at work, honestly the Kuberentes/Docker support is pretty awesome. Not to mention the fact that they only run garbage collection after 28 days so if you accidentally destroy a production bucket with user images in it, support can easily get it back to you. (Yes this happened before)

#8Interesting that it’s explicitly limited to B2B startups.
Is there a feeling that B2C isn’t a “real” business? Or maybe because B2B startups are more likely to be acquired by larger companies, thus absorbing Microsoft’s stack?

Is 47 users really a "startup"? If you have anywhere near 47 actual users, affording $1k a month is going to be trivial.
Would be nice if you could have, say, 5 users and extend the 2 years by not using all $1k monthly credits, adding users as you grow.

I assume it can also be used towards their hosted CI (GitHub actions)
