This collaboration reflects our commitment to building reliable voice AI technologies that deliver real business value,” said Ivan Belokhvostikov, co-founder of Cybernet AI.

As part of the Microsoft for Startups program, participants gain access to the Azure cloud platform and other core Microsoft technologies that streamline product development and deployment. Throughout the program, teams receive support from technical specialists and industry mentors, expert guidance, and entry into Microsoft’s international partner network. The program includes intensive training, engagement with investors and corporate clients, and mentoring focused on global B2B scaling.
