Can European startups sign up aswell, or this is US only?
It's a global initiative. There is no geographical limits.

#12Maybe its just me but the need to be incorporated is a poor requirement for a startup.
I agree but together with partners we have to decide on some requirements. Might definitely change it in next edition.

#13This is perfect for startups! They need all the support they can get!
Ditto! It's essentially free trials to various services. You can decide what works for you in the end without having to spend $$.

In the UK at the least, it is trivial to gain some level of incorporation (fill out an online form, pay £20, have an address). I assume the same is possible in the USA.

#15from Email Landing Page:
"Increase your chances of winning the Pack Share something about us: [twitter button]"
from Front Page: "we will randomly select 250 lucky startups that will get the Pack."
If this is not a biased random sweepstakes, I would remove that wording. I know nothing about US sweepstakes laws, but I think biased random is (at best) a gray area.

This is a good point. I get the marketing behind it, but those two headlines don't really line up and that's when you can run into trouble.

Sorry for asking, my mistake. Just tried to get the word out about this non-profit initiative. Thanks for notifying.

#19I saw this same page months ago. Today It says that there are 6 days left to apply... something fishy about this.

It's a new Pack for Developers I launched 4 days ago. Applications are open for 10 days (6 left). Nothing fishy :)
