Microsoft helping startups?
Via Don Dodge: Microsoft helping startups
I wrote a blog a while ago "How to Partner with Microsoft" that explains many of the programs and resources available for free, and links to sign up. Here are just a few of the programs;
Get free software and support. The Empower Program for ISVs helps new software companies get software, consulting, and MSDN subscriptions for the low price of just $375. The software alone is worth over $10,000.
Join the ISV community. Microsoft has a special ISV Zone for software companies. Find partners, get leads, get beta software, and get involved in the community.
Microsoft Startup Zone. If you are a startup you should visit the Microsoft StartupZone. The StartupZone is managed by the Emerging Business Team which is focused on helping startups build a relationship with Microsoft.
Startups, venture, hiring, tech, geeks, & other smarts.
