As usual, there are countless immigration topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll do the same in my answers!

Is it normal for incubators to ask founding engineers to come over on tourist visas?

I'm not sure about that being a requirement but participation in an accelerator/incubator while in the U.S. as a business visitor is fine and common.
