Microsoft has today unveiled their BizSpark initiative.
Get software, support and visibility. Microsoft is hoping to seed Silicon Valley (both real and virtual) with future customers by providing a full kit of tools and software to software development startups for free (for three years.) This is a global program that provides access to full-featured development tools with no upfront costs.
The startup must be nominated by a BizSpark network Partner, privately held, in business for less than 3 years, less than USD $1 million in annual revenue, and in the business of software development. For more details download the Microsoft BizSpark Program Guide for Startups (282 K PDF.)
Already signed up are: Xobni – offering powerful organization of email in Microsoft Outlook and ZocDoc – an online medical appointment making service.
