The difference between incubators and accelerators - an incubator is usually subsidised serviced office space for businesses that are just starting. It's really just an office. There's nothing about an incubator that helps the business grow besides the low cost.<p>An accelerator is a much more clearly defined programme of events and mentor-ship with the benefits of an incubator being wholly secondary. These days you're probably not going to get on to an accelerator unless you're already some way along with your business (tech largely built, got some traction, maybe revenue), and you need help taking it from something small and growing slowly to being something that has explosive growth (10% a week is optimal).<p>EDIT: I'm using the typical UK definitions there. It could be different in other places.

I made it to<p>>but of course I'd just nod in agreement so I didn't look like a noob... admit it, we've all been there<p>and had to stop. That's the worst possible thing you can do! The rest of the article could be full of amazing advice but I'll never know cause it's too hard to read while I'm shaking my head this violently.<p>Ask questions!
