Bingo! I came across Progress first time this week in a different context (Indian startup scene) - they portray themselves as incubators here (https://www.progress.com/incubator https://www.progress.com/incubator). Have a fancy application system et al.. even stress how they don't take any equity. Turns out in lieu of essentially a deskspace and maybe wifi they mandate the incubated startups to use their Cloud platform products - aha lockin! This is how shitty enterprises survive. When they can't find new customers, they come to India and tomtom around as evangelists & incubators and other $100 words in self-description.
