Ciklum today announced that it has been selected to join the Microsoft BizSpark Program as a Network Partner. The BizSpark Program is a new global program designed to accelerate the success of early stage Startups by connecting them to Network Partners: active members of the global software ecosystem who can provide mentorship, guidance and resources to BizSpark Startups. BizSpark creates an ongoing, mutually beneficial ecosystem between Microsoft, Startups and Network Partners.
”By being a Microsoft BizSpark Network Partner we aim at further increasing the value that Ciklum’s community and unique own team model bring to technology based start-ups that choose to start their new ventures with us. We are now able to help our clients to get nominated for BizSpark Program and get a free three year lisense for all Microsoft software development products. We hope that this great opportunity will enable our start-up clients ease their investment costs along the way, and help them achieve success faster,” says Henrik Bak, VP of Sales and Marketing of Ciklum.
Microsoft is committed to helping entrepreneurs to transform their ambitions into sustainable, dynamic businesses and to foster innovation and entrepreneurialism. To this end, the BizSpark Program provides Startups with software, support and visibility at a time when they are most valuable and least affordable—during their first three years, with no upfront costs and minimal requirements.
”We understand the difficulties startups face in trying to create a viable, scalable and sustainable business, especially in today’s economy,” says Bindi Kiria of Microsoft Corp. ”Microsoft BizSpark provides startups with a unique opportunity to grow their business by taking advantage of the breadth of the Microsoft platform, our global partner ecosystem and new ways to gain market exposure.”
BizSpark gives Startups fast and easy access to Microsoft’s current full-featured development tools, platform technologies as well as production licenses to bring to market innovative and interoperable solutions for the next generation of user experiences.
To be eligible for the Microsoft BizSpark Program, Startups must be actively engaged in development of a software-based product or service that is a core piece of their business model, have been in business less than three years at the time of enrollment, and have less than USD$1M in annual revenue. Startups may enroll for the program by obtaining an enrollment code from a designated BizSpark Network Partner.
