Both Sides of the Table

I’m surprised how few people talk about valuations, term sheet terms, how much to pay recruiters, etc. The CIC, founded in 1999, is located adjacent to MIT and has more than 100,000 sq ft of space for nearby startups that qualify to be housed there. Anyone have positive or negative experience in such an incubator?

With the success of Y Combinator and TechStars , several incubators (sometimes referred to as “accelerators&# ) have popped up everywhere. Good luck trying to convince even the most nascent of startups to take your investment at around a $100k post-money valuation. Some have done quite well. Pretty expensive seed capital.

After spending time in Silicon Valley (from 1999-2003), Boston, London and Chicago, I moved back to NYC in 2004 and have been fortunate to witness the technology and startup growth for the past 10+ years. I remember the heady days of 1999 when everyone believed that there were new rules to investing. 2015EOY_FPV_v31.

This has led to the creation of incubators, accelerators and seed funds. Yes, it’s true that FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving some irrational behavior and valuations amongst uber competitive deals and well-financed VCs. In 1998 it was 150 million, 1999 250 million and by 2000 it had crossed 350 million.

Betaworks is more than an incubator, but they have shown that they can make the incubation model work with projects like bit.ly Some have made the model work. and chartbeat.
