YL Ventures & Microsoft BizSpark Want to Turn Your Startup into a Success
My friend Yoav Leitersdorf is founder of YL Ventures, a VC fund that is also a Network Partner at Microsoft BizSpark. BizSpark is an innovative new program that serves to support and accelerate the success of startups by uniting them with entrepreneurial and technology resources. BizSpark is uniting a global community of entrepreneurs to help guide new startups through the ups and downs of creating a new business. Their tag line, “Turning today’s most promising startups into tomorrow’s most successful businesses,” says it all.
The founders of YL Ventures started their fund just after exiting their last startup and, as entrepreneurs that have experience with molding their own successful startups it is no surprise that they have partnered with Microsoft on the BizSpark initiative. As Network Partners, YL Ventures would like to extend free access codes to startups that can prove that they are less than three years old, have made less than $1 million in revenue and are in the business of software development, creating a new “software as a service”. Send proof of these items (incorporation documents, company financials, etc.) to info@YLVentures.com and you will be granted an access code to take advantage of all that BizSpark has to offer.
This is a great opportunity for startups to get an edge up on the competition and, if you meet the criteria, it is definitely worth your while to apply.
