Historically,</p> <p>NBIA* member incubators have reported that 87 percent of all firms that have graduated from their incubators are still in business."

Do they help companies become successful or at least get over certain challenges? What type of companies and people find the incubator experience to be a positive? Are there downfalls to going through the experience?
