The Association of MBAs are a Network Partner in the Microsoft® BizSpark™ programme.

Microsoft® BizSpark™ provides startups with fast, easy access to Microsoft platform technologies and development tools, as well as production licenses to develop and bring innovative and interoperable solutions to market. The programme can also provide you with global visibility to potential clients, investors, and partners.

It only takes a few minutes to join and you get almost instant access to the software. Best of all, there are no upfront costs. Your only obligation is to pay Microsoft a small fee (USD$100) due at the end of the three years (or exit from the programme).

To join BizSpark you’ll need sponsorship from a Network Partner. If you feel you meet the eligibility requirements (visit www.microsoft.com/BizSpark for more details) and are interested in becoming a part of this programme, we would be happy to sponsor you as a member of the Association of MBAs.
