I’m at a MS BizSpark sponsored event on starting and growing a start-up business on behalf of work to mingle. There’s a great attendance here, much better than any of the other BizSpark events I’ve been to. The developer platform folks at MS Ireland who worked on it deserve a lot of credit.
There’s a huge buzz in the rooms between the sessions. There’s a great belief that small Irish businesses will be what provide the spark for our ailing economy. MS, to their credit, are doing a lot to help the tech dependant start-ups:
- Free MSDN
- Free PSS support
- Free production licenses
- Access to BizSpark hosting partners
- Networking events to meet other businesses and organisations/investors who can help
I’ll be here all day and am staying for the networking event in the evening. I’m the short fat bald guy with black pants and blue shirt so come say hello if you are here.
