Talk of buildings and incubators reminded me of the story of Building 20 from "Where Good Ideas Come From". ".Legendary VCs add knowledge, connection, and PR moreso than they add money that wasn't there before.

IdeaLab has a philosophy that if they can get a centralized group of expert staff to help with legal, accounting, recruiting, PR, etc. Don’t think about starting an incubator until you have real operating experience otherwise you don’t really have anything to offer startups. This has been their formula for nearly 15 years.

This summer, in NYC alone, over 50 companies will be participating in various incubator programs. Frankly, I don't think a lot of first time entrepreneurs are really grasping how difficult it is to succeed, and the impact their companies will need to make to acheive success. It's fine to fail.
