What is an eIncubator?

An eIncubator, sometimes called an accelerator, is a business incubator that assists companies with their online business strategies and online presence. The general goals of an eIncubator are to create a safe environment for early business development and to ensure the rapid growth and success of its business ventures. eIncubators provide a wide range of services, including financial resources, human resources, office services and equipment, and management advisory services. Like venture capital firms, eIncubators have a selection criteria and generally focus on a specific industry or market segment. Many eIncubators will accept companies in the very early stages of development. In exchange for their support and assistance, most eIncubators receive equity in the business ventures. Specific eIncubator policies will vary, due to a wide range of laws and generally accepted practices.
