Body

Our startup recently received funding through the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, and we're trying to activate GitHub Copilot seats for our team. However, when we check our GitHub Business plan, we don’t see any information about free seats or activation under the Copilot section. Has anyone else faced this issue? How did you go about confirming eligibility and activating the Copilot seats through your Founders Hub benefits?

Hi @kishan1219,

GitHub Copilot is not included in Founders Hub benefits. The coupon covers 20 free seats of GHEC for one year. Would you mind sharing any information you have about GitHub Copilot seats?

Hi @queenofcorgis ,

Thank you for the clarification. I understand now that GitHub Enterprise Cloud does not cover Copilot seats. That's why I applied through the GitHub Education program to see if Copilot could be included. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the response I was hoping for. The GitHub Education Team informed me that they are unable to move forward with my application, but they didn't provide any specific reason for the rejection, and they mentioned their decision is final without further discussion.

I appreciate your support and hope this helps clarify the situation.
