Comments on: Microsoft launches UK startup fund http://eu.techcrunch.com/2007/10/01/microsoft-launches-uk-startup-fund/ Tracking European web and mobile start-ups Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Lars Lindstedt http://eu.techcrunch.com/2007/10/01/microsoft-launches-uk-startup-fund/comment-page-1/#comment-41140 Lars Lindstedt Tue, 02 Oct 2007 11:31:33 +0000 http://uk.techcrunch.com/2007/10/01/microsoft-launches-uk-startup-fund/#comment-41140 Hi Mike, I'd just like to correct one point in your post. We launched the Startup Accelerator programme yesterday with five partners: Miomi, Zebtab, Corebridge, Miomni, and Viapost, not the companies listed in the post. I think the confusion arose because on our web page (http://microsoftstartupzone.com/uk) we've also posted some case studies of companies that the Emerging Business Team has worked with in the past, and we will continue to post information on this programme and our other activties as well as case studies of interesting companies on this site, so I'd encourage your readers to visit us from time to time. Best regards, Lars Lindstedt, Microsoft Hi Mike,
