BizSpark
The BizSpark program is based on Microsoft’s belief that by helping Startups succeed, we will help build a valued long-term relationship with them, and together we can build a more vibrant global software economy. BizSpark will help Startups by providing access to Microsoft software when they most need it and can least afford it, and by supporting the network of organizations – startup incubators, investors, advisors, government agencies – that are equally involved and invested in software-fueled innovation and entrepreneurship.
