Microsoft's Incubation Week for start-ups

Straight from Don Dodge's site:

Microsoft is organizing several “Incubation Week” programs to help start-ups incubate and develop outstanding ideas. The event will feature technical gurus from Microsoft, technology veterans who have built their own applications, and influential venture capitalists and industry experts. Microsoft developers will lead interactive discussions, provide helpful advice, and facilitate actual application development on site. At the end of the week, they’ll select a winner who will be eligible for prizes and special PR opportunities.

The event is free and each team can bring up to three participants (one business and 1-2 technical). All start-ups are eligible, whether or not you have an application built today.

CRM Incubation Week will be held at Microsoft Technology Center in Waltham, MA from Monday, April 20th to Friday, April 24th. This event consists of ½ day of training, 3 ½ days of active prototype/development time, and a final day for packaging/finishing and reporting out to a panel of judges for various prizes.

To nominate your team, please submit your development proposal to Sanjay Jain. Nominations will be judged according to the strength of the founding team, originality and creativity of the idea, and ability to leverage CRM as a Platform.
