Startup Innovation and Growth Through Microsoft Founders Hub
At Clymb Clinical, we’re committed to innovating and improving clinical data analysis and reporting by building our own software solutions and integrating existing technology stacks, including available open-source resources. As a startup, scaling efficiently is key, but as you scale you also have to carefully manage costs to sustain growth. We’re always looking for ways that we can leverage partnerships to support our growth, and nothing has been more valuable to us over the past few years more than the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub.
Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub is a program designed to support and empower startups by providing access to essential resources and technology. It's an initiative that is aimed to accelerate a start-up’s growth by knocking down some of the barriers that companies face around Technology, Services and AI. We have benefited from our partnership in many ways – here are some of the most important advantages we have seen:
Azure Credits: With Azure credits, we’ve been able to scale our infrastructure without the burden of upfront costs. The credits helped us experiment with technology and opt for the best solutions. Our TFL automation platforms (e.g. TFL Designer, TFL Viewer) are running off Azure because of its reliability and consistency as a hosting platform. The credits that the Microsoft team offers us as a Founder’s Hub partner are a huge benefit to us especially in our community and development instances.
Microsoft Visual Studio & GitHub Enterprise: In the Software Development lifecycle, communication and having a streamlined process is incredibly important to the success of your product. Having access through the Founder’s Hub to Visual Studio and GitHub has been a huge help to our team. With Visual Studio Enterprise, our team enjoys enhanced collaboration, debugging, and testing features. GitHub Enterprise keeps our codebase secure and enables efficient version control, and team collaboration.
AI Services: In the context of today’s software development, AI will be integrated to some part of your product development. Choosing the right AI components and understanding how to integrate them into your product suites can be overwhelming for new companies. The Founder’s Hub makes it very simple to select and utilize their AI tools which has enabled us to build our product with features and capabilities that enhance clinical trial analysis, driving faster, more accurate insights for our clients.
Microsoft 365 : One of the pillars of technology for any company that works in a global market is their communication suite. As part of our partnership, we have access to the Microsoft 365 suite to use across our company. Having access to 365 through the Founder’s Hub allows our team to be connected and productive, allowing us to work seamlessly across different locations.
The Founder’s Hub is an amazing tool for any startup company to add to their toolkit. Whether you're at the idea stage or already scaling, programs like this can make all the difference. For us, it has been instrumental in our growth and ability to scale our service offerings to our clients. We look forward to building on our partnership and continuing to scale our product suite using Microsoft as our partner.
