ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Business incubator

Okay, so you know how baby birds are born in nests and their parents take care of them until they can fly on their own?

A business incubator is kind of like a nest for new businesses. It is a place where people with really good ideas for starting a business can go to get help so that they can grow and be successful.

Just like a baby bird needs food, shelter, and care to grow, new businesses need help with things like getting money to start, finding people to help them, and figuring out how to sell their products or services.

So, the people at the business incubator help new businesses with all of these things. They might give them money to start or help them find investors or partners to work with. They might also give them a place to work or a computer to use if they don't have their own.

The people who work at the business incubator are like the parents of the baby bird, helping the new businesses grow and become successful so they can fly on their own one day.
