Questions you will meet, answered honestly
What support do you need from us?
Two or three specific things, such as lab space, legal help or introductions in a sector, rather than “everything”.
What is your business model?
Who pays, how much and how often, as you understand it today. It is fine to say what you are still testing.
What reviewers of incubators look for
- Check who the incubator serves (a university's students, a city's residents, a sector) and confirm you fit before writing anything.
- Describe the next six months concretely: what you will build, test or sell, and what you need from the incubator to do it.
- Have a short business plan or one-pager ready; many incubators ask for one and use it in the interview.
