Hi, I have been shopping around. In theory, even if I can't afford that right now I think it is a pretty bright investment if you want to start up: A startup Incubator.
I am myself thinking about getting on board of one some time to give the biz the right boost and a good capital injection, but there are still some details about the whole concept here in Germany that make me wait a little longer.
Why should I look for investment and office space in an incubator if I can potentially negotiate a better deal for entering later when the beta version is on-line? I guess many start-ups are entering "the dragon" a little too early, maybe giving too much equity away in exchange for office space and "the right people"....depends on the project, of course...but think about it. If you don't need it to get beta going, don't do it... You need the right people from the beginning on: Yes, but if you cannot start it up to beta without help you are very likely to be useless for the project anyway s. I would not invest in you...
Here the Top 10 in the US to watch on Inc.com and some German/Austrian ones I dug out. Most specialize in certain areas regionally and more importantly in expertise to create better synergy effects...and most are run by some really high profile kids...check them out!
