I think the implication in Kate Hough's article that incubators encourage you to lie on stage is more than ridiculous; it's irresponsible. I knew a guy who lied once in college. It had nothing to do with his own weak backbone: the pressure of college forced him into it and the whole institution is on trial.

Look, an incubator may or may not be good for your startup. I don't know for your own situation. But I do know this: articles like this one are certainly not good for honest discussion, information, or the image of tech journalism.
