Startups are fragile entities; while an entrepreneur might have a strong idea and its execution in place, management issues can often wreak havoc on its growth. This is where startup incubators step-in. Rendering a strong business infrastructure and taking care of day-to-day administrative responsibilities, incubators aid startups to solely focus on their core business.
