==Introduction==
 
The objective of this project is to come up with an objective definition of a high-tech high-growth incubator. As such, this project is related to our efforts to [[Formulate baseline attributes]] of incubators.
==Working Definition==
''*'' This definition will be updated/modified as we determine other characteristics that we want to include!!!
==''Characteristics Generally Used to Differentiate an Incubator from an Accelerator''==
#''Duration:'' Startups at an incubator generally do not all stay for the same fixed duration; Incubator does not have a fixed graduation date for its startups or has a program that lasts longer than one year
#''Investment:'' Incubator does not invest directly in the company or take equity in its startups
#''Cohorts:'' Incubator does not have limited-duration programs that ventures enter and exit in groups, known as cohorts or batches.[https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/INOV_a_00184/ 1]
#''Application Process:'' Generally has a less selective, competitive admissions process than an accelerator
