BizSpark Hits Significant Miletsone of 12000 Startups!
Two weeks back on May 6, 2009 marks a significant milestone for BizSpark from the time it started 6 months back. The program has enrolled 12,000 startups which is significant achievement!
Microsoft BizSpark is a great DEAL! It is a program designed to help accelerate the success of early stage startups by providing key resources – software, support, and visibility.
The qualification criteria is very simple (if you are a startup):
- Privately held software development startups in business for less than 3 years that are generating annual revenue under USD $1 million can join.
- Connect with a BizSpark Network Partner or a Microsoft BizSpark Champ to get your BizSpark enrollment code. Or email me at Raj.Ramabadran@microsoft.com if you are not sure who to contact.
- Enrollment is free, however, at exit of the program, you just pay a USD $100 program offering fee.
