After the bust, tech incubators went out of style, declining in number from 50 or so across the United States to just a handful today. But the new and improved model suggests that a place where young, pocketbook-conscious entrepreneurs can share office space is a good idea, especially with the tech resurgence. At Plug & Play Tech Center, the brainchild of brothers Saeed Amidi and Rahim Amidi, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs can focus on innovation, as the center takes care of the grunt work like accounting and preparing hot meals. The 150,000-square-foot building in Sunnyvale, California, houses some 86 startups, from Web 2.0 hopefuls to open-source software developers, and the waiting list only grows. Meanwhile, Valley VCs are paying attention to the promising tenants who make the one-year-old incubator their home. Turns out, the Amidis have proved particularly shrewd when it comes to spotting hopefuls, having previously rented office space to Google in its formative years and invested in another early renter, PayPal.
