My interactions with BizSpark in Silicon Valley have been nothing short of stellar. I organize the Hackers and Founders meetups [1] in the area, and Joel Franusic [2], the BizSpark evangelist for the area is one of the huge reasons that I have nothing but good things to say about BizSpark.
Joel is a Perl, *nix hacker with a dash of Lisp mixed in. He's been working startups for years, and he helps organize Super Happy Dev House in Silicon Valley. He joined BizSpark because he thought he could help a broad cross section of startups.
Joel doesn't push the Microsoft stack very hard. He's very much a soft sell kind of guy. But, if a startup is interested in working on the Microsoft stack, he's a phenomenal resource.
