Partners: The Heart of Our Business
Partnership has always been at the heart of the Microsoft business model. The success of our products and services relies
on an ecosystem of nearly 700,000 business partners – many of them small and medium sized enterprises and startups deeply rooted in their local
communities. When our partners do well, we do well.
In developing the BizSpark program, a key principle was to enable partnership, not just with startups, but also with the
community that supports entrepreneurship - entrepreneurial community organizations that provide mentoring, advice, connections to investors,
training, events and other services.
