What is the Performance of Incubators? the Point of View of Coached Entrepreneurs‪.‬

I. INTRODUCTION Over the last 50 years (1), incubators spread across the whole world, and for a few years they have been created by a growing number of economic actors (local collectivities, universities, large companies, etc.). Their economic models have evolved, their objectives have diversified, and, with the experiment, a specific profession, business program manager (a sort of developer guide of start-ups) was born. Today, incubation is a real profession--Americans call it an industry- which has its methods, tools, standards, and its professional structures. However, it remains a young model in permanent evolution.
