Microsoft® BizSpark™ One, the latest expansion of the BizSpark program, is an invitation-only program designed to accelerate the growth of selected high potential startups through a one-on-one relationship with Microsoft and a global community of advisors, investors, and peers.
Building on the Microsoft® BizSpark™ foundation, BizSpark One pairs each Startup with a dedicated relationship manager at Microsoft who works with the Startup to identify its unique opportunities and build a tailored plan to promote the Startup’s visibility, expand its network of investors and mentors, expose it to business opportunities, and develop cutting edge applications. In some countries, Startups will also have access to members of their local BizSpark One Advisory Committee—consisting of investors and community stakeholders who will provide business guidance and strategic mentorship.
Microsoft BizSpark One is currently available in Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Israel, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Microsoft is continuing to explore opportunities to expand to other countries.
If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to join Microsoft® BizSpark™, profile yourself in the BizSpark Database (BizSparkDB), and participate in the BizSpark Community.
If Microsoft BizSpark isn’t the right fit, Microsoft has a wide range of programs and resources to help your business succeed, including the following:
