We have had a great reception to our news of becoming a BizSpark Network Partner, and we have already signed up several startups. On November 20th, there is a fantastic event coming up that will celebrate Austin startups, and Microsoft’s new BizSpark program.

It’s called Ignition, and it’s going to be at the Speakeasy on November 20th from 7pm – 10pm. It is presented by the Microsoft Startup Zone, the TechSet, and StartupDistrict. The event will bring together 10 of the best startups in Texas, each wil give you 20 slides at 20 seconds per slide. Talk about a fast pitch!
