Is there anything in the fineprint to stop the startups from reselling those credits?

Passing them on at a 20% discount would make for a sweet ~$400k runway extension.

Considering MS's long track record of offering discounts and freebies to startup (in the form of BizSpark and many other programmes), we can happily assume Redmond's considerable troupe of lawyers has anticipated that loophole.

Interesting question.
