Founded in March 2016, its mission is to be an  active, strategic partner at key stages of a startup's growth, typically investing between Series A and D. They focus on technologies enabling a mobile-first, cloud-first future, spanning big data & analytics, business SaaS, cloud infrastructure, AI, machine learning, productivity and security, among others.

Microsoft Ventures are again opening their doors to let you in and ask everything you ever wanted to know about what life is like inside an accelerator, what you can expect to get from it, what they will expect from you and so forth. And you won’t just be given biased answers from Rashmi but you will actually be able to interrogate their portfolio company, Tact has been designed to add an intelligent layer to CRM — and today it got more than $30 million to make CRM easier to use. Tact and Microsoft are delivering a more natural way for sellers to be productive, unlocking business and customer data through natural conversation.
