Incubator Funds in India: Synthesis

My first experience of technology entrepreneurship in India was in 1994 while I was still a grad student at MIT. The most vivid memory I have of that experience is that it took me 6 months to get a phone line. It was before wireless. It was, most certainly, before venture capital in India.

Things have obviously come a long way. Last summer, I did a body of research on the Indian entrepreneurship scene, as I watched huge amounts of capital finding its way to India. Through that work, I also came to the conclusion that there is way too much money, and not enough fundable deals, and that India needs more incubator funds.

A year has gone by. Not a whole lot has changed.

So I chose to revisit the topic of Incubators in India in a series of posts, on which I would like to hear from entrepreneurs, investors, incubator managers, and whomever else in the ecosystem with meaningful input.

Here are the posts:

• Incubator Funds in India: Idea Crucible?
• Incubator Funds in India: Product Marketing?
• Incubator Funds in India: Engineering Talent?
• Incubator Funds in India: Sales & Biz Dev?
• Incubator Funds in India: Distribution?
• Incubator Funds in India: Legal & Financial Structuring?
• Incubator Funds in India: Real Estate & Infrastructure?
• Incubator Funds in India: Adult Supervision?
• Incubator Funds in India: Fund Structure?
• Incubator Funds in India: Management Team?

I look forward to your comments.
