I applied, because more than anything I need contacts that something like this can offer. That and a lot of the feedback on my start-up is that is great for News and media.

However, how many start-ups can really afford picking up and relocating to NY for a 4 month incubator without having funding (which SpaceTime does not appear to offer). I hope the selected start-ups are offered some kind of funding to cover relocation/living which can obviously be experience for 4 months in NY.

Update: I emailed timeSpace about the subject and the swiftly replied with the following:

" for this first iteration of timeSpace, we will not be offering funding. While that may unfortunately limit the pool of applicants, it is the most viable way to efficiently launch the program and get entrepreneurs on board as soon as possible. We will reevaluate for future iterations.

Very sorry that this poses a problem for teams based outside of NYC.

Best,

the timeSpace team"

There are, of course, a lot of startups already based in NYC- especially if you are media based, it pays to be here. I imagine this program is targeting them, rather than anyone further out.
