Launching a startup? You may want to check out Microsoft’s BizSpark created just for startups

Just Wednesday, Microsoft announced a site set up exclusively for tech startups. No, working with startups isn’t a new concept for Microsoft. But often, the programs weren’t very well known, and the scope was rather narrow. This latest launch, BizSpark, is a different story.

First off, when joining, you get the what you might expect — Microsoft products. Of course, there are the obvious Office, Visual Studio, Sharepoint, as well as both Windows and SQL Server. But that isn’t all. BizSpark works with over 300 Network Partners who can offer the program right to startups. The really big bonus? There is absolutely no upfront cost to join. You do however, have to pay $100 when you leave the program.
