As a follow up to the other developer related post I made this morning, I am asking that folks take a look at my buddy Matt Harrington’s blog where he details some cool stuff that Startups will be interested in.

From his post -

Do you like free stuff? Are you a startup?

Microsoft supports Startup America, which offers the following for free:

  1. Expertise -
    • Weekly pitch coaching sessions with Nathan Gold
    • Ask the VC Virtual Round Tables with folks like Brad Feld and David Cohen of TechStars
  2. Services -
    • BizSpark: free software and other benefits from Microsoft to qualified startups
    • Dell offers special discounts on Latitude laptops to Startup America members
    • All eligible member firms receive 6 months free online Intuit payroll service
  3. Talent -
    • Two free months of LinkedIn's Premium Business service
    • Post job openings for free with Startup Hire and gain access to their Talent Vault with over 100,000 profiles
  4. Customers -
    • Enterprise level CRM from LeadMaster
    • SearchManager by Clickable for American Express OPEN provides members access to all major search engines, including Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Facebook
  5. Capital -
    • Funding Fees Offer from IndieGoGo, the world's largest open funding platform
    • Premium membership from Biz2Credit

... and more.

We're trying to see how many startups we can enroll between now and February 14, 2012. It only takes 3 minutes to sign up and it's free. Use this URL, so I can keep track of how many people signed up after reading my blog: http://ar.gy/mharrin.
