Microsoft Small Business Promotions
BizSpark is a startup program that gives you three-year access to the latest Microsoft development tools, as well as connecting you to a nationwide network of investors and incubators. There are no upfront costs, so if your business is privately owned, less than three years old, and generates less than U.S.$1 million in annual revenue, you can sign up today.
They also have the Spark of Genius Series which is a promotional effort, and the real reason to sign up. Each week day they will cover a promising new startup (posting on Mashable), as part of the series. Each post showcases a promising new software company, and finds the unique feature that separates it from the competition. Full list of coverage can be found on on the “Spark of Genius” channel. If you think your company matches up with what they want – then be sure and give it a try and sign up!
