No. Startups, or startups with an incubator's support are focused on one product to develop
and sell and make back investors's moneys X 100 to 1000 in five years. They won't give you freedom except
the necessary amount of respect you demand to do some work without interference. At the end of some
time period, you will have to have results that satisfy their goal or "you're fired."

They just want progress along their dream vision path of $10M in, $1B out.
