And once again about the project BizSpark

Once again I would like to tell you a little about the BizSpark program that we launched in Russia at the end of last year.



BizSpark is a program that provides start-up software development companies with a set of the following benefits for 3 years:

- Ability to be selected in BizSparkDB as BizSpark Company of the Week on the Microsoft Startup Zone website
')
The main conditions for participation in BizSpark:
- A company must develop a software product or a hosted Internet service based on software that will be the main component of the company's business.
- The company must be private, be in business for no more than 3 years and have an annual income of no more than 500 thousand US dollars

A detailed description of the program can be found here: http://ms-start.ru/Programs/BizSpark.aspx

I would like to dwell separately on the list of products falling under the program :
- all software included in the Microsoft® Visual Studio® Team System Suite (VSTS) with MSDN® Premium;
- Expression® Studio version 2;
- VSTS Team Foundation Server (standard edition);
An industrial use license gives you the right to place Software as a Service solutions (developed while participating in the BizSpark program; for any platform) on the Internet for the following products:

- Microsoft System Center;
- Microsoft BizTalk® Server.

Participation in the program is FREE

Habravchane already talk about a positive experience with the program: http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/startup/48353/

Why did I make this post? You have the opportunity in the comments to ask questions about the program to people who are responsible for it in Russia. For my part, I promise to give them to them and try to get answers to all the appropriate questions :)
