startup america challenge + free mentoring
As I travel around, it is amazing to find out just how many startups still do not know about BizSpark. I spoke at the Startup Illinois 1st Anniversary event a couple days ago in Chicago and had so many emails after the event asking for more information on this “amazing program for tech startups called BizSpark”.
Well, there is a friendly regional competition going on with the Microsoft Regions and Startup America that will give all you tech startups access to BizSpark among other great benefits. If you are a tech startup, go sign up for Startup America with this link to show how the Central US has just as many high-quality, high-potential startups! You have until February 14th at 12pm ET until the competition ends.
Also, I am raising the ante a bit. For all those startups that sign-up, I will offer an hour (or so) of mentoring time that will enable you to learn more about BizSpark, how to scale your startup in the cloud, why Windows Phone rocks the party, or how to get access to other Microsoft resources to help you gain an advantage in the market. If you are in the Chicagoland area, this can be in person or we can take it virtually with a great little startup called Ohours. The challenge is on!
