I just posted some details below.

I think my main mistake was trying to be an accelerator as opposed to simple shared space for rent. We couldn't find a way to make it work financially, considering the amount of time and energy it was demanding.

I also underestimated the lack of interest in innovation and startups here in CT.

I appreciate your detailed response (and candor)! Sounds like a great idea on paper -- I would think a "built-in" legal team and infrastructure support would have attracted more interest. Sorry to hear it didn't pan out.

Sounds like some shady circumstances around the state-sponsored incubator, on the other hand...

Thanks. Yeah, part of the learning experience was figuring out local politics, and getting completely disgusted by it.
