Teaching startup entrepreneurs how to create/run a business is a waste of time. Entrepreneurs only need to identify markets and build products they believe will generate interest, and can be monetize beyond the break even point.<p>What are you going to teach them? How to pitch?<p>The value of an incubator is not the lessons on how to incorporate or how to close a deal. The value is the network. Your incubator must be connected with VCs, the Media and more importantly Buyers.<p>Everything the entrepreneur will pick up as he goes. Also most of the things that apply to all startups (accounting, payroll, incorporation), they should simply outsource it and focus on building a product.<p>Bring me money. Bring me buyers. Bring me customers. Bring me Media attention. The rest we got it. Spending 8 hours a week learning how to create a great powerpoint presentation is not an entrepreneur's business. When you get to the point where you need to learn these things, you go hire yourself an MBA.<p>Just my 2 cents. That being said, I wish he helps startups launch.
The whole concept of not investing until after graduation has some merit...but I see 3 problems with this:<p>a) this guy has no pedigree...all he has going for him is that VC rating site<p>b) He has no practical experience, when he had a VC rating website, what did he learn about pitching to investors?<p>c) As a fresh startup...do you really want to start out with ties to someone who has negative relations with pretty much all VCs?<p>It just seems like he is an opportunist who is jumping on a bandwagon,
