Microsoft SparkStart Meetup @ Launch Pad during WPC — July 14
Microsoft is going to be all over NOLA in a couple weeks for the 2009 Microsoft Worldwide Partners Conference. Launch Pad is pleased to participate in this exciting week by hosting a StartSpark meetup to introduce the local startups, entrepreneurs, & developers to the BizSpark program.
Launch Pad is an official Network Partner of the BizSpark program which means whether you’re at Launch Pad or not, we can help your startup become part of BizSpark. What’s that mean? Well, good question:
BizSpark is a program designed to help startups get off the ground through three pillars: software, support & visibility
Startups in the BizSpark program get free development tools, platform technologies and production licenses
