I really don't mean to offend people running or participating in good incubators. I stipulate that YC, 500 and Techstars and others are run by people who know what they are doing and work to contribute to the success of their members. They are not the problem.
- ixmatus 13y agoThere is no offense, I just think it's important to characterize accurately and you can only do that with good data - I'm providing one (I think) good data point on the accelerator / incubator experience that I've had. I also think people that dish out a lot of exaggerated commentary on a wide and diverse subject are speaking about something they don't know very well (such is the case with the article's author). I do agree though that some incubators can be a problem - but really, the onus to select carefully is on the entrepreneur just as it is in selecting your board or investors.
