SGE Is First Blog In APAC To Partner Microsoft In BizSpark Programme

SGEntrepreneurs is happy to announce that we have signed on with Microsoft to be a Network Partner in their BizSpark™ programme. We are the first blog in APAC to have this privilege! From here forth, we join a global initiative aimed at helping startups by subsidizing their costs of development software for technology startups over a three year period.

In Singapore, we join a list of venture capitalists, incubators and web-hosters as Network Partners.

BizSparks provides access to:

Software. Join BizSpark and you’re just clicks away from having access to current, full-featured development tools, including Visual Studio Team System, plus production licensing to develop and bring your solution to market.

Support. BizSpark provides you with professional technical support from Microsoft and connects you to a global community of business experts who can help guide you through the hurdles of growing your business.

Visibility. Through BizSpark, you’ll have the opportunity to achieve global visibility to an audience of potential investors, clients and partners.

Eligibility requirements are minimal: If you’re a privately held company building a software-based product or service (even using open source code), in business for fewer than three years, and with less than USD$1M in annual revenue, you’re in!

To join BizSpark, you must be sponsored by a BizSpark Network Partner, such as SGEntrepreneurs. Visit this page to find out more and apply for Microsoft BizSpark sponsorship with us.
