Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the incubation experience and process from the perspective of incubatees by presenting a series of narratives. This is our response to calls for in-depth, qualitative studies in the incubation process (Todorovic and Moenter 2010; Hackett and Dilts 2004, 2008; McAdam and McAdam 2006; Voisey et al. 2006) and provides a contextual understanding of pathways through INNOSPACE. The 20 interviews with frequent users capture rich data about the incubation process. To bring these narratives to life and explore the incubation experience in detail, a two-step analysis was carried out. The aim of the first step was to identify key stages and activities during the incubation period. Key activities at the pre-, during and post-INNOSPACE stages are summarised in Appendix E, using the individual incubatee as the unit of analysis. The second stage of the analysis uses ‘activities’ as the unit of analysis. Figure 5.7 draws on data from all 20 incubatee interviews to identify individual pathways through INNOSPACE by comparing activities and patterns between cases. Flowcharts are used to illustrate key activities and stages during the INNOSPACE process.
