Just for info, they're not an incubator in the traditionnal sense. You can't work at their (gorgeous) office. You can see it more like a "club", for doing networking. You also have access to some ressources, but most of their "startup spirit" talks you'll find are mostly translations of american books or talks from valley people, not really first hand experience. They do provide you with good trainings on fund raising, but you may want to ask for the detail of everything you're going to bave access to before you agree to give them 1 to 3% of your company.
Also, to my knowledge, the only successfull startup they have was "save", which is a fantastic company lead by very nice people, but it unfortunately filed for bankruptcy a few months ago, after having had a too intense growth.
At the moment, i'd say the biggest problem with every single incubator i know is the lack of unicorns coming out of them. Most people giving advices haven't created anything big themselves, and the few people who created really big companies ( criteo and blablacar for the last 10 years) don't go in those ecosystems to mentor newcomers.
