They’re obviously good marketing for individual VC’s, and I’m willing to assume for the time being that they actually increase the supply of entrepreneurs. The interesting question is whether they also increase the quantity of worthwhile business ideas that is being worked on. If not, the downside is that all these new incubators will increase competition among startups in a finite number of spaces and make it that much harder to stand out from the hordes.
