Incubators are becoming more and more like a popularity contest where the outcome is a crazy valuation. To me it looks like a broken system or one that's going to break sooner or later.

I was planning to submit my application to FounderFuel, a fairly new accelerator in Montreal, and decided to wait a bit. I'm still not sure if there is any value for my actual project in that kind of thing. The main drawback for me is the difficulty to focus on coding during the session.

Is this a problem for anyone else or is there incubators with a focus on coding?




Good incubators won't let you to code with one focus. They will shift your attention sideways so that you might discover new opportunities and validate your vision. Often it leads to abandoning the original idea completely.
