To be fair, what did you expect him to say? Your question might as well have been, "We don't use your products and have no interest in doing so. What can we get out of you offering your products for free?"

Wrong - I absolutely have an interest in using any tool that would be helpful to my business. I was asking for help to identify how best to use the toolset that BizSpark provides.

My question can't possibly be the first time he's heard that; I was astonished that he didn't have a pat answer that was productive. When we have scaling issues, we'll have all the traction and revenue we'd need. BizSpark doesn't help us at that point.
