The End of Startup Incubators? Enter the Era of Startup "Excubators" with Ensemble.

I just guest authored a new post for StartupBeat called "The End of Startup Incubators? Enter the Era of Startup "Excubators".  This post summarizes the plusses and minuses of the "incubator/accelerator" models vs. this new "excubator" model being pioneered by Ensemble, comparing program entry, duration, location, mentorship, expertise, focus, convenience, team, equity, brand impact, cash discounts and more.

Take a read of this post, and tell me if you think Ensemble is heading in the right direction with its new "excubator" model.  We certainly have received a lot of positive feedback, but I welcome the reaction of Red Rocket's broader reader base in the comments section below.
