Microsoft’s Startup Team

May 14, 2008

Did you know that Microsoft has something called the Strategic & Emerging Business Team?  According to Christopher Griffin, they focused on supporting the startup and venture investment ecosystem, especially high-potential companies working with our various technologies. They are structured similarly to a VC fund but typically invest via resources/relationships rather than with straight cash. You can get more info at Microsoft Startup Zone.  In any event, Christopher contacted me about a post I wrote titled, “Raising Venture Capital in Dallas?” where I discussed the difference between west coast startups and Dallas startups. The next time he is in the area we are going to get together and I’ll keep you posted on our conversations.
