US ISV: Incubation Week in Silicon Valley

The US ISV team is holding an Incubation week in the Mountain View MTC.  The event is targeted at startups and students driving awareness around Silverlight, Windows Live and other Next Gen Internet technologies.

It has been interesting to follow their tweets on Facebook.  Kevin Hermann and Warren Wilbee are definitely doing their best to keep the atmosphere light-hearted. 

The primary reason for hosting an event like this at a Microsoft Technology Center is to increase .NET community awareness of the value they can leverage in doing so.  Microsoft currently has Microsoft Technology Centers in most major US cities and throughout the world.

The US ISV team is also sponsoring several evening roundtables with Academics and Angel Investors to assist budding entrepreneurs.
