Impact of Business Incubators or Accelerators on Startups: An Empirical Analysis

Kaushal Sad

Abstract: Business incubators and accelerators are frequently lauded as critical instruments for supporting business growth. Entrepreneurs are frequently faced with the decision of not only which incubator or accelerator to join, but also whether to join one at all. Is it always a smart idea to join a business incubator or accelerator? In this term paper, I look into some of the drawbacks that entrepreneurs may face while working with an incubator or accelerator. In this paper, I do not explicitly differentiate between incubators and accelerators and I have used "Business incubators" in general. Secondary research was conducted through publications, papers, and interviews. According to the research, business incubators have a positive but also a negative impact on startup success.
