Abstract

Many scholars regard the incubation process as a mystery because little is known about what unfolds inside incubation hubs. The business incubation process is a critical initiative that can aid in the growth of new firms. However, little research has been conducted to corroborate what occurs within an incubation hub. The study was aimed at understanding what happens to start-ups in incubation hubs. The research was conducted among Harare start-up founding entrepreneurs. The case study approach was used in this qualitative study. Data was gathered using an interview guide. The sample comprised 21 start-up founders divided into three focus groups. Incubation hubs have a good impact on start-up development, according to the research. The findings offer a rare glimpse into the activities of incubation hubs. It was concluded that incubation hubs make a significant contribution that was critical to the development and survival of start-ups. The study contributed to the theoretical gap by adding more literature on start-up development.

Abstract

This study on the role of networking in entrepreneurial incubation hubs was aimed at validating the influence of networking on start-up development in Harare, Zimbabwe. The research targeted start-up founders that had gone through the process of incubation in Harare. The study used a qualitative research method. A case study approach was then adopted in which the participants were purposively selected. An interviewing guide was used to gather data. The study involved three focus groups with a total of twenty-one start-up founders. The research established that start-ups tend to develop better through the infusion of ideas and experiences either through peer-to-peer or peer-to-coach or vice versa. Networking in incubation hubs aided learning as incubates had the chance to learn among themselves. The interaction created lifelong learning exposure which proved to be effective in creating personal development. In conclusion, it was found that networking forms a fundamental basis for start-up business success as it provides the bedrock for collaborations and the sharing of ideas that aids in the development of startups.
