Abstract: New innovative venture creation embodies strong stakes in terms of economic development but its end really lies in the sustainable development of recently created companies. This investigation joins this perspective by focusing on the development of nascent entrepreneur. It proposes an innovative reflection related to the dynamics that he/she impulses when being accompanied in an incubator. Our objective is to encourage the "incubator consultant" to enrich his skills and practices by engaging a development of the nascent entrepreneur's autonomy he supports who is confronted with a complex activity and with numerous changes. Conceiving, implementing and managing all the events occurring during the incubation process, we consider that the entrepreneur is in the core of the process; his/her mental representations play a decisive role and their evolution support the knowledge (learning processes) he should construct as a novice in many fields of business venture. Our results show that the learning contents are related to the progressive building of his project and entrepreneur role. We show that the incubator consultant must strengthen the entrepreneur learning contents and processes during the incubation period, in order to insure a long term impact. Such a dynamic process of skill building will favour his/her self confidence, entrepreneurial attitude and autonomy facing his new activity. Starting from our research results, the operating dimension we adopt in this research guides us to propose a set of recommendations about co-producing and organizing the accompaniment relationship.
