1) The "pay" might slow down the founders' progress into a proper founder mindset, i.e. "we need to make revenues, dammit". In that way, it would hurt.
2) Many incubators I've encountered think they're adding value by imposing some kind of structure... requiring milestones, etc. For some startups, this may be suitable, but for others, it's completely wrong and will slow them down, discourage them, or even lead them in the wrong direction.
3) Good advice is worth its weight - bad advice can be the opposite. Get some convincing advice by someone who has no idea what they're talking about, and it could be very costly.
