We just moved to a new server and installed new blogging software... so what does that mean? That means we will loose the dates of our old posts. I was originally trying to change the TIME & DATE on the server, repost and get the original date... but it got to be a pain. Instead, for those who have been following us for the past year, you will notice some of the posts not being reposted. Well, we have over 170 posts and to repost all of those takes WAY too much time... so essentially we are reposting the best and brightest write ups from the last year.
In addition we are going to take the next couple months to switch the focus of the incu-BLOG to a start up diary. Enjoy and as always, please keep the comments coming
Since the original post, I have gotten so many emails asking how to submit your ideas to our board of advisors.
To submit your idea, email the link below.
UPDATE: Due to the response, we removed the email address
In a nutshell we are what happens before you become a start up. Our board of respected and accomplished professionals have began focusing on helping ideas turn in to real realities. You may be saying to yourself you have seen this ‘idea’ is so many other forms done before, so what separates the preCompany from every other incubator?
We are involved before the incubator and take you all the way through start up.
Here are some things we bring to the table and questions we ask:
What are your advantages?
What do you do well?
What relevant resources do you have?
What do other people see as your strengths?

Opportunity for entrepreneur to have board ‘incubate’ idea and pursue round A funding
Opportunity to borrow cash and not bring in investors, giving up too much of company

Find funding for ideas that may otherwise never take off.
