That was the question I was going to ask. But the one you ask, Niki, is a good one. What kinds of resources have folks used? any ideas? and while I am at it, are there any coworking locations in the UAE? Sabahat On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 11:40 AM, Matthew Houston wrote: > Where are you? > > On 4

Your incubator comment is spot on. The fixed term of membership is something that I associate with incubators. I think the idea is that they want to provide feedback and support to their start-ups, but at a certain point the law of diminishing returns comes into play, and the incubator needs to put

They would want you to ask an early adopter who has proven they can be a productive part of the community to leave if a brand new unknown unproven person came along?
