Tell me why a room-and-board-and-bandwidth incubator is a stupid idea
adrianwaj: Have a professional program that runs alongside the basic program.
When people apply, they have to offer something the place. Anything from a quiz, to a magazine, cooking, to lectures, to a strategy sharing night (where confidentiality agreements are signed and startups can reveal themselves to others).
Maybe run a consulting company within the location.
Make sure everyone has something to offer.
Have some type of policy where new people and potential new people are shown in a public place.
Also have some type of complaints box.
