Harvard Business School (HBS) is one of the most famous graduate schools in the world. Part of Harvard University, the Boston, Massachusetts-based school has offered programs leading to master’s and doctorate degrees since 1908. And earlier this year, a Harvard education took some future business leaders to a city outside Massachusetts. The school opened the Harvard Business School Startup Studio in New York City in January. But the Startup Studio is not actually for current Harvard students. It is designed to help recent HBS graduates develop their ideas into actual companies. Competition in the business world can be fierce. That is why some cities are seeing a growth of companies with the stated purpose of helping other businesses get their start. These companies, often called incubators, are very common in the technology industry. Incubators can reduce barriers for small, young companies with little money.
