Startup needs three different people as mentors
1 is former founders and entrepreneurs who have built companies and would advise on big picture, company building and so on
2 is the Subject matter experts who would give very specific advise on UI/UX, Scaling, Go-To-Market and so on
3 is people whom you could rely on to talk to; say about your fears, worries . It’s a lonely journey. Think of them as motivational coaches whom you can go to test your ideas, build your personality, shoulder to cry on and ears to listen to
Team Building is an art, it’s important that you attract great talent who will join you for the impact you intend to create and not just for the monetary aspects. These ecosystems allow you to attract, groom and retain great talent
You may be building the most coolest thing on the planet, but if you are unable to articulate your value proposition, you would end up not raising adequate funds. Incubators and Accelerators help you determine what you should be pitching, and to whom.
Revenues are the ultimate the source of capital than the investor money or the debt. So an Incubator or accelerator should help the startup to introduce to customer or help reach the customer and from there make revenues and help them towards the path to nirvana (IPO/Exit)
Getting the right services that are both credible and affordable is something that the ecosystems can help you get.
They are the biggest strength and key factor in incubator becoming an ecosystem
Cause alumni become the brand ambassador for the incubator, they can serve as mentors, investors (if they are successful) and can be customers)
