As long as all the parties profit from this kind of business there is nothing wrong with it. See for example Android. Whoever thought it would be what it is for Google today for Google?
Sorry, I did not add much detail information. I intend to learning coding to be able to do web development and then later mobile app development. Am a business guy. I don't have the intention of learning to code to get a job, but more to be able to program MVP of product ideas I have. Which one is the most easiest for a rookie Ruby or RoR or PHP or Zend or cakePHP or Yii. My goal is to get results quick, later I can then jump into the nitty gritty.
What a coincidence. I had a discussion with the head of a software development house for start-ups on this weekend. He strictly said no to such a proposal because they have had a only failures trying to build products. I think it takes a lot of commitment and full focus to really build a successful product than just moonlightining on an idea.
In general, I think the more incubators, the better it is for the whole start-up eco-system. Talk is cheap. Thus, there is no need to quarrel online. Let the success of MassChallenge and Y-Combinator start-ups speak for themselves which program is the best.
Let´s see when the next Web 2.0 FB challenger will come out and then the over $1.5 billion investors have plugged into FB will be gone with the wind :-)
What do you guys think of it?
