I'm not talking about mentors' desire to do this. I'm talking about the structures that appear to be in place which work *against* incubation and graduation. And if you want to call a rant against meaningless constraints and bureaucracy "insulting", then I'm okay with that. > We are glad the board has such confidence that the Incubator is producing > effect meritocracies that collaborate effectively.
