incubators, accelerators, and economic development: read and heed!
The typical metrics for measuring Success are often WRONG
Don't go by the traditional metrics (shown above). These are often wrong, and do not properly reflect the true authentic benefits of an incubator or accelerator.
Typical business metrics for Incubators and Accelerators are often misleading and inaccurate, and not an indicator of success or advancement. One example is Theranos, who had >135 Issued Patents, all of which were invalid and worthless (nobody read them). Equally important to what false-metrics incubators do track, are the important data-metrics (often easily available) that they don't track. See above.
Have you worked with an Incubator or Accelerator? Was it helpful? Were your interests properly aligned with theirs? How was that Incubator or Accelerator funded, and did they find you resources that you could not have found yourself?
Did any of you locate your business inside of a WeWork? Did this help you? Did WeWork provide any advantages that you could not have found via other means?
