I think this article is really short-sighted, in that he is just making a blanket statement that doesn't apply to all incubators and doesn't apply to all companies.

We are applying for incubators now, because it will give us the opportunity to continue doing business and will help us grow our business. We think it will be a good fit, because we are heavy on the engineering side and are looking for some investors to get on board and back our passion with real dollars. Runway + opportunity to focus is the reason you want to get investment or into an incubator.

Anyway, nice work on getting people to your site through a clever title.

I think you're confusing investment and incubation. They're two different things.

Investment is when someone with money and experience is enthusiastic about your idea and wants to help you succeed with it.

Incubation is when someone with money and experience is enthusiastic about their incubator and wants you to help them succeed with it.

Not the same, see?
