Event Details

The spirit of entrepreneurialism is what drives all of us to innovate and excel. Economics aside, there is no better time than now to pursue and invest in that next big idea. This is your time to shine and we want to celebrate you, your vision and help you succeed.

Microsoft Startup Zone, in partnership with Stephanie Agresta and Brian Solis of The TechSet, is hosting this event bringing together the tech innovators in Silicon Valley and San Francisco to celebrate the launch of BizSpark, a new program for those who contribute to a dynamic ecosystem that helps startups flourish.  Join us 52 floors above San Francisco at The Carnelian Room for free hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and have the chance to network with some of the most influential technologists around. Some of the hottest startups in town will be around to showcase their products. Also, all attendees can participate in a "twitter raffle" to win an XBox 360 Elite.

Additionally, we will be having a showcase of local startup companies.  If you are a Bay Area startup and would like to be a part of this event, please email Jacob Mullins.

Agenda:

7:00 - 7:30pm - Registration and Networking
7:30 - 7:50pm - Welcome and Intro to BizSpark
7:50 - 10:00pm - Networking and Startup Showcase
