Fwd: Xconomy's Guide to Venture Incubators

Useful guide to venture incubators

Dear Friend of Xconomy, Since most of our readers are keenly interested in the startup and entrepreneurial scene, I wanted to let you know about the one-of-a-kind, just-released Xconomy Guide to Venture Incubators. Compiled exclusively by the editors of Xconomy, the guide includes details about all the top startup incubator programs--19 in total--in the United States. Whether you are an experienced entrepreneur or just contemplating your first startup, you will find this exclusive guide essential to getting the lay of the land--what incubator programs are out there, what they specialize in, the mentoring and other services they provide, and what they ask in return. We have published two versions of the guide. One, available free of charge on our website, simply lists the programs. The other, available right now for a modest introductory fee of just $45, includes such vital details as: Application Deadlines and Procedures Stipends Paid Equity/First Rights of Refusal Policies Notable Graduates Number of Firms Incubated per Year You can find the free version here: http://tinyurl.com/incubator-guide A sample entry from the premium version is available here: http://tinyurl.com/incubator-sample And you can purchase the premium version using your credit card or PayPal by clicking the "Buy Now" button below. In creating this guide, we spent weeks scouring the country to identify all the top startup incubators--and to weed out the myriad programs that call themselves incubators but mainly provide rental space and infrastructure for startups. To qualify for the Xconomy Guide to Venture Incubators, programs have to go beyond basic services to provide such benefits as actively mentoring entrepreneurs, helping them craft business plans and presentations, and making the connections critical to putting money in a new company's coffers. I am sure you will find both versions of the guide valuable. But if your plans and interests require the more complete details about the programs that are really helping startups get off the ground, be sure to take advantage of our introductory price of just $45 now, as prices will increase effective September 1, 2009. And please let us know what you think. Best, Bob Buderi Editor in Chief Xconomy
