In many ways, leading a new entrepreneurial venture is comparable to managing a high-risk R&amp;amp;D project for an established corporation. This contribution is a practical introduction to risk management for technology incubators—one of the most exposed forms of VC funding—and outlines some of the similarities that exist with traditional corporate R&amp;amp;D projects. We see incubation as a new evolving paradigm for large corporations dealing with technological and financial uncertainty in internal R&amp;amp;D projects. Lessons drawn from managing risk in incubators can be applied to the management of high-risk project teams.&lt;br /&gt;
