Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the idea of acquihire preclude the possibility of single founders? Companies want to buy whole teams who presumably can build a product, not just single founders. Again, I could be wrong but from what I've seen the deal is to form a nucleus of founders for the purpose of extracting investment from investors or selling the whole team to a big corp. If this is the case, you want to have to strongest nucleus you can put together.
As far as experience level... In my experience with startups, there is a need to have people fill spots as investors are paraded through, and in this case, the younger the better. I say this kind of tongue-in-cheek, but if you enroll in some math classes and play into the prodigy role you will be doing yourself a service if you want to go this route.
If you're a single founder focused on building a product, why not build the product then use that a nucleus to build a team. I get the impression that incubators are for people who want to build a team and then build a product.
