Starting up an incubator focussed on food and agriculture
I am working on an idea to start an incubator that is focussed only on food and agriculture. I'm seeing some ag startups starting off, but I can't help but think they could benefit from having easy access to people with experience in the sector (network in the sector and knowledge on agricultural technology). I think that would really help overcome commonplace problems, that would be hurdles to take without access the right sort of sector experience. In other words, a factor that could accelerate customer development.
On the other hand, there is of course the danger of myopia if…

Before any inventor or would be entrepreneur starts building their company, they need some to do some solid market research.

This project is at a very early stage, although I have discussed concepts with people who are homeless, I have yet to develop a Minimal Viable Product to test their uptake. The problems I am having are:
1. Identifying unmet needs that require little capital and result in scalable and sustainable products and services for people who are homeless.
2. Verifying…1 vote -
What is the added value of a sector specific incubator?
Most incubators have an open perspective on the types of startups they take up. I am exploring the possibilities for setting up an incubator specifically for food and agriculture startups.
I would like to do a post-up to reflect on possible advantages and disadvantages of a specialized incubator.Possible advantages:
For founders:
Faster testing of hypothesis:
- through quick access to specific knowledge (from peers, mentors, research institutions)
- through having a common language on the marketFor investors
- quicker assessment of novelty/viabilityPossible disadvantages:
- myopia
- missing out on collaboration with the broader startup eco-systemThanks,

Open question: How do I measure customer acquisition for in-bound marketing?
The "funnel" was a customer acquisition concept built around outbound marketing, but it's clear now that customers take a far greater initiative than they used to. McKinsey's Customer Decision Journey outlines exactly why managing customer acquisition with a funnel approach is flawed, but what measurable management techniques have or can replace it? This is an open question - I'd love it if anyone using in-bound marketing could share their approach.
