Selected for the Microsoft for Startups program offered by Microsoft

# Microsoft for Startups

MashiroAI has been selected for the Microsoft for Startups support program as the first PFP project!

Together with Microsoft, we will realize a more productive and creative society by spreading Web3 and AI technologies.

We will utilize members/knowledge that have worked on Defi/GameFi/NFT projects originating from Japan. We are also planning online and offline collaborative events as Japan's first fully automated scripted PFPxAI generative NFT project/community that combines AI technology, which has been gaining momentum in recent years.

We are able to receive support from Microsoft for server costs, and since we do not have to pay server costs, which are in the tens or hundreds of thousands for other NFT projects, we are able to maintain, maintain, and operate the server over the long term at a low cost.
