BizSpark Launch

Today was the launch of BizSpark, an initiative of Microsoft to help startups in their pursuit of success. Firstly, I would just like to say that it is extremely heartening to know that the Singapore government has many agencies with a wide range of initiatives to help promote young local startups. However, there is a limit to how much the government can do, therefore startups are often confronted with issues such as lack of support, funding or visibility.

With initiatives from large companies that have the power to help startups such as Singtel, Apple and now Microsoft, it is becoming easier to walk this tough journey of pushing a startup. This post would focus on what BizSpark offers and how I think it can help MyWobile as well as other startups.

  1. Free Software
    Microsoft offers a comprehensive set of software for all purposes. Since a lot of startups nowadays are related to interactive digital media, we need development and server software. However, the cost of getting Microsoft software is an issue for startups where every cent counts. Of course, open source software is available, but it may not be what startups need. With BizSpark, we get access to Microsoft software at no cost for three years. Isn’t that great for a cost-cutting startup?
  2. Networking Opportunities
    While BizSpark is still new, I believe that it will offer plenty of networking opportunities in the future. Networking is very important for startups, since we often can’t do everything by ourselves in this increasingly complex and speedy world. From time to time, we need to work with partners to deliver the best that each of us can offer. BizSpark may help make it easier.
  3. Visibility
    Free advertisement on Microsoft’s BizSpark site. Enough said. :)

While I do not know how BizSpark will contribute to the success of startups fast forward a few years, I do think that it is extremely exciting. Every startup ought to take a look at this:

Pre-Beta Testing in Progress

Hi, everybody. It has been some time since we last published more information on MyWobile over the web and some of you may be wondering about our progress right now. I’m very excited to share that we have already developed many versions of the mobile application and they include several exciting features. While I am not going to blog about the specified features that the mobile application have at this moment, I can safely assure you that they revolve around a single purpose - to keep you connected with the world through a virtual platform.

Before we release the software for a limited group to be the pioneering users in this mobile application, we will be testing and fixing some bugs to ensure a better user experience after users download. I’m sure most of us hate bugs, whether literally bugs or computer bugs, so our pest busters are really hard at work in the interim.

Give them a few cheers, encourage them with a few comments and very soon, you will start seeing the mobile application available for beta testing. If you have not registered with the main site yet, you may want to head over to MyWobile.com’s homepage and register. Be the initial round of beta users and help shape our mobile application with your feedback.

Afterall, MyWobile is a software made for you. :)
