Yes, there can be specific expectations or requirements for investors in terms of their involvement with the startup in a startup incubator program. These expectations and requirements can vary from incubator to incubator and can depend on factors such as the stage of the startups in the incubator, the investment structure, and the goals of the incubator.
For example, some incubators may expect or require investors to provide mentorship, support, and advice to the startups in the program. This can include providing introductions to potential customers, partners, or investors, as well as offering advice on business strategy, marketing, and fundraising.
Other incubators may not have specific expectations or requirements for investor involvement, and may leave it up to the discretion of the investor.
It is important to check with the specific incubator to understand their expectations and requirements for investor involvement, as well as any associated benefits or rewards for such involvement. It is also a good idea to consider your own time and resources, and to ensure that you are able to fulfill any expectations or requirements before making an investment.
