In foreign countries, business incubators have a long history and mature incubation mode, which has won the favor of many entrepreneurs. The famous YC(Y Combinator) incubator receives an application from entrepreneurs to join the incubator every minute on average. Joining a well-known incubator is many times more difficult than being admitted to the top business schools in the United States. However, the benefits of joining an incubator will make you feel worthwhile.
Well-known companies such as Dropbox, Airbnb and Heroku are all masterpieces of incubators. The total value of enterprises incubated by YC exceeds 8 billion US dollars, and the average value of each company exceeds 45 million US dollars. It can be said that incubators are playing an increasingly important role in helping start-ups obtain financing. On the other hand, the incubator is more like a new school. Here, entrepreneurs can get personal guidance from entrepreneurial tutors, investors and experts in various fields to reduce entrepreneurial risks. In the eyes of many founders, business incubators have replaced MBA and become the first choice to obtain entrepreneurial resources.
Incubators are nothing new in China: 1987, the first incubator-Wuhan East Lake New Technology Entrepreneurship Center was born in China; 1999, the first private incubator-Nanjing Private Entrepreneurship Center was born in China. Nationwide, Beijing has the best atmosphere for early-stage entrepreneurship, the largest number of investors and the most advanced investment, management and incubation concepts in China. But even after such a long development stage, even in Beijing, Chinese-style incubators, whether government-run or private, are still in their infancy compared with the United States, Israel and other countries.
Hosted incubators are for first-time entrepreneurs or high-tech and Internet entrepreneurs. The typical services it provides generally include: free or paid office space, regular entrepreneurship training, project graduation roadshow training, investor docking and so on. Hosted incubators provide entrepreneurs with the infrastructure for enterprise survival, so that entrepreneurs can devote themselves to product design and research and development. For example, many universities have established entrepreneurial parks to support college students' entrepreneurship. The park rents workstations to college entrepreneurs at a very low price. This is a typical management incubator with government support.
In addition, many entrepreneurs and investors have established privately managed incubators to support entrepreneurship and incubate high-quality high-tech and Internet projects. For example, innovation works, founded by Kai-Fu Lee, and Lenovo Star Incubation Base under Lenovo. In addition, many foreign incubators are actively entering the China market.
Hosting incubator provides a good entrepreneurial platform for young people with ideas. After entering, with the help of platform resources, the founding enterprises can quickly spend their infancy and have the opportunity to obtain investment and growth.
