Here’s my second interview with Dan’l Lewin, Microsoft’s main man in Silicon Valley and the executive in charge of finding and cultivating promising start-ups around the globe.
The company is seeking to align, provide services, and in some cases acquire start-ups through a global program called Microsoft StartZone.
Innovation is happening far beyond Silicon Valley and Redmond — in England, India, Israel, France, Singapore, Finland and many other places.

Well, since innovation is global, so should be the scope of Beet.TV.
