[[image: Header.jpg|850px]]
The amount of startups in the Netherlands is growing, but yet the likelihood of the average startup becoming a scale-up (full-fledged company) remains the same. Incubators tremendously increase the startups odds of surviving by training them the ins and outs of starting a business. Proper networking is a crucial aspect that the startups have to learn to survive. The startups are too small and lack funding to do everything on their own and therefore require help, either from other startups, experts or freelancers. Networking possibilities can be stimulated through architecture, by space itself shaping the way and amount of times users interact with each other. The growth and the life expectancy of startups however is very unstable, having an incubator that allows to cope with this uncertainty can benefit both the owner and the client.

'''Plan of Requirements'''
The economic growth of a country cannot be expressed in only its economic wealth anymore. It is heavily dependent on the amount of knowledge gathered within the country. Knowledge, a product of information within a structure, can easily grow if shared with others that can build upon it. Allowing information to flow easily will therefore result in economic growth. A startup incubator embraces this concept of sharing information and building upon it. Creating a platform where startups can share information can lead to an increase in knowledge/ innovation which eventually benefits our country’s economic growth. Architecture plays a very important role in the possibility of sharing information. Allowing for more ‘incidental’ interactions within a building stimulates the flow of information. The amount of occurring interactions can be parametrically optimized within a building. The same goes for stimulating productivity and creativity, which are also essential for knowledge production. An increase in the amount of startups has been observed in the last decade, they however still have 10% chance of surviving. The need for an optimized startup incubator that can increase their odds is now more than ever.
