Since then, however, a variety of companies have created enormous wealth through IT.

Now, they are falling out of favor in their biggest pullback yet as the business community at large tries to figure out what incubators will look like for the long haul. Private incubators…. that is, those attached to investors or venture capital firms, are increasing in popularity and profitability and may be that long term form that incubators everywhere have been seeking. In this topic, we highlight the rise and fall of the incubator concept and the private capital-attached incubators that are setting the stage for the future of business incubation to come.
