Hello. I have failed the Domain Verification with the Founders Startup Hub four times now, despite sharing invoices from GoDaddy showing that I own the domain, and sharing the domain that has our company name, my personal name, my email address, and our company address listed directly on the company website itself. I only have 1 remaining try, and have exhausted all ideas as to what other means to try. If showing the bill of sale of domain and having all my PI on the website isn't enough to verify, does anyone have any recommendations on a next step to take? Thank you in advance!

    Hi Adam Keller,

    If you've repeatedly failed the Domain Verification process in Founders Hub, ensure your documents (e.g., domain invoices, registry records) are dated within the last 12 months and match the name and address on your Founders Hub profile. You can use the "Re-verify Domain" option on the home page to upload additional documents, such as a website showing your organization's name, address, contact info, and domain. All details should be clear and consistent with your profile.

    Please refer to the doc, Business and Domain Verification

    If the issue persists, we recommend reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance Submit Support Request.

    Please reach out to us if you have any other queries.
