Microsofts Azure Accelerator In China Debuts Inaugural Class

MSC Accelerator2As you may recall, Microsoft recently got into the startup accelerator game, launching its firstself-directed and self-run accelerator in Israel. The program is different from Microsoft'sKinect Accelerator, for example, because Microsoft is the owner and operator of these new programs, which are now rolling out elsewhere in the world, including India and China.Unlike your typical YC clone, Microsoft is not snagging an equity stake nor providing funding for the startups it hosts.
