Apply now for the Microsoft Azure Accelerator in Israel

The Microsoft Accelerator for Windows Azure is now accepting applications for its second class in Israel, which is set to begin on December 16th.

Startups accepted into the program will work at Microsoft's R&D Center in Herzliya Pituach for the entire 4 months of the program.

The accelerator is looking for early-stage startups who are "doing big things" in cloud, internet and mobile.

Microsoft doesn't take equity from the startups in its Azure program. Instead of funding, startups get office space, free software and development tools from Microsoft's BizSpark program, and access to the company's talent pool.

The deadline to apply is November 15th.
