REDMOND, Wash., Oct, 2007 — For the thousands of technology startup companies that emerge each year, achieving and sustaining business success is a tough proposition. Many don't make it, succumbing to the myriad challenges along the way — from funding to marketing, to changing market conditions.
But startups don't have to go it alone, and many successful startups achieve their business goals with the help of a strong set of partners.
The Microsoft Emerging Business Team was established in 1999 to partner with startups and work with venture capitalists worldwide to support innovation and accelerate the software ecosystem.
Today the group is launching a new program, the Microsoft Startup Accelerator Program, to further the company's support of this important community.
For more insight into the work of the Emerging Business Team and goals of the Microsoft Startup Accelerator Program, PressPass spoke with Dan'l Lewin, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Strategic and Emerging Business Development.
