This paper investigates the mediating role of knowledge commercialization process intervention on the relationship between companies’ selection and exit by Iran's incubators. The statistical population consists of 191 approved incubators and the statistical unit with 1337 members of the board of trustees of incubators. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the collected data. Descriptive statistics methods (tables, graphs) were used to summarize, classify and interpret statistical data, and structural equation methods were used to test research hypotheses. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. The questionnaire's validity and reliability were assessed and approved and then distributed among the sample. The results (based on six factors extracted from ten Grimaldi characteristics) show that the selection method affects the incubators' intervention in Iran. Also, the intervention method affects the exit way by Iran's incubators, confirming the mediating role of the knowledge commercialization process.
