What This Revenue Model Is
You do not need a building, a board, or a government grant to launch an incubator. You need a methodology, a network, and a clear value proposition for the founders who need what you already know. A cohort of ten social enterprise founders, run once a year, generates more income, more impact, and more legacy than ten individual engagements ever could. You already have the methodology. The cohort is just the container it has been waiting for.
Program fees, sometimes plus equity.

cohort, anchor
An incubator earns from cohort fees and, where structured, a small equity stake in what it helps build. The work of running cohorts is heavy, hence the high cost score.
Cohort and accelerator programs commonly anchor at $15,000 to $30,000, with optional equity in the low single digits.
Benchmarked to cohort and mastermind pricing (Heights Platform, Business Builder Camp, 2025-2026). Equity terms are specific and worth a legal review.
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
