LIDNUG is now a BizSpark Network Partner

The Linked .Net Users Group is now a BizSpark Network Partner.

This exciting community, supporting startups, is probably one of the most progressive and beneficial programs ever released from Microsoft.

BizSpark Program:

In November 2008, Microsoft launched BizSpark, a program whereby startups can get access to software, support and visibility. The most exciting part about BizSpark is the access you get to all kinds of Microsoft software for development, test and production. There is no cost to enroll and you pay just USD$100 when you exit the program.

We're pleased to announce that the LIDNUG is now a BizSpark Network Partner. We encourage all entrepreneurs in this group to join the program and take advantage of the resources Microsoft is making available to you. To get access to BizSpark, please send me an email and I will respond to you with a code you can use to register.

For more details about what you get through the program, please visit “What Do I Get”.

Startup Eligibility Requirements:

An eligible startup must have the following characteristics at the time of joining:

• Actively engaged in development of a software-based product or service that will form a core piece of it'sc urrent or intended business
• Privately held
• In business for less than 3 years, and
• Less than US $1 million in annual revenue
