Incubator

Definition

A program that nurtures early-stage startups by providing office space, mentorship, and a false sense of security. It's called an incubator because, much like the medical device, it keeps fragile things alive that probably wouldn't survive in the real world.

Example Usage

"We got into a top incubator, which means we now have free desk space, a mentor who exits through the back door when he sees us coming, and a 90% chance of failure instead of 95%."
