When you're in the kitchen, you have a choice between cooking everything from scratch or using pre-mixed ingredients to make the process quicker and easier. Starting a business isn't all that different. The decision on which incubator, if any, you should join boils down to how much of your entrepreneurial sauce you can, want and should try to make on your own.
Entrepreneurs have limited time, knowledge and resources. Therefore they need to focus on what matters most to them and what they need to do better than their competitors. But the rest still needs to get done and that’s where incubators can be of great help. Bt because incubator services come at a price -- cash, equity or opportunity costs -- this is a serious business decision to be carefully evaluated.
