Ask I2: I don't have a co-incubator. Can I still apply?

Ask I2: We've already launched our incubator. Should we still apply?

Ask I2: We're in a hurry. Can you accelerate our accelerator application?

Ask I2: We want to launch an incubator for start-ups that produce gas pedals for cars, an accelerator accelerator for accelerators. Can you help us?

Ask I2: Our motto is, "Build something people will apply for?" Will that work?

Ask I2: We want to promote virtual start-ups. Do you think we can encourage all of our founders to use airbnb for different office space every day? Should we require that they all get netbooks?

Ask I2: My co-incubator is a cat. If we make it that far, can you assure us that Toby Huang won't chase him during the interview.

Ask I2: We want all of our founders to become egg yolk profitable by demo day demo day. What type of incubator would be best for them?

Ask I2: I love incubator news, but I worry that it's becoming too much like reddit reddit.


Ask I2: I want to start In³ (AKA 'Incubed'), the first Incubator Incubator Incubator. Can a simple Incubator Incubator like I2 help me? Or should I be helping you? I'm confused.

Ask I2: I'm starting In^∞ (AKA "Inaninifity", AKA "Ouroborcubator"). We will incubate everything for infinite leverage and returns. I believe we will soon have created your universe, so you may already be part of our incubator offspring. I suppose this isn't really a question. Or is it?


Great list of people ... very impressive that Larry, Reid, and Mark aren't affiliated with them.


This event "Incubate 2.0" here is real, and sold out. Some of my friends are speaking =P http://startupcause.eventbrite.com/


They should make the submitted applications available as a shared Google Spreadsheet.


Othman Laraki. Advisor

Othman Laraki is a well known microangel (investments of $100 or less) and advisor to a number of incubators (e.g. BecauseCombinator) and marquee startups such as AirTensil (the AirBnB for people who own utensils), KitchenMine (a startup which builds custom kitchens within Minecraft), and the Like a Boss SNL video.


I suspected a joke. Then I read the comments here and was mostly sure. Then I got rickrolled. Now I am sure.


I'm pretty happy with getting Crystal-Lighted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeMJOPlK-0E&feature=playe...


Someone get this site running on PyPy.


Isn't this a joke? I remember Jonathan Abrams (Friendster) referring to it in a TC interview.


Whoever is smart enough to downvote should have managed putting the mentioned facts into Google:

Yo dawg


This comment is a reference to this site:

Essentially, a send-up of the "Pimp My Ride" show, where Xzibiti is always like: "I heard you like something gratuitously big, so we minified it and stuck it in your vehicle"


Got to love those stock photos.


I took a screenshot of contract guy!


For a moment I thought this was a tool to help you apply to all the different incubators... the name (incubatorincubator) would be a good one if you actually wanted to create such a service.


That's it, I'm buying gold. First the Cisco forecast, now this.


Regardless, do watch the baby dancing.


I'm sort of annoyed this doesn't actually exist. I need an incubator in Orlando, FL. Anyone?


I proposed a human incubator. All it needs is one fertilized embryo.


ProFounder = MicroAngel


nice idea idea!


Amazing. Cue the stampede of aspie HN literalists.


"We help accelerate company accelerators, so they can help accelerate their companies faster."


<bad pun> So basically they're creating jerks </bad pun>


I prefer to think of it as an iterative accelerator feedback loop.

So that would be circle jerks then.
