==Introduction==
This page contains research findings and progress on one of the five ecosystems: Burlington, VT that we are studying on.

==Incubators in Burlington VT==
For incubators that support high-tech and high-growth companies, I only found two in Burlington so far: [https://generatorvt.com/ Generator Makerspace] and [https://vcet.co/ Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET)]. There are several incubators([https://www.intervale.org/ Intervale Center], [http://flynndog.net/ Flynndog]) focus on other industries: art and farming.
===Generator Makerspace ===Though Generator Makerspace describes itself as a business incubator, services (mentorshipmentor-ship, technical assistance etc.) to entrepreneurs are available to selected candidates. entrepreneurs have to apply for their JUMP/START program to be considered as candidates. Their membership consists of the access to space and equipment, and tool training, but does not come with business and financial assistance. As for now, Generator Makerspace focuses more on space rental, workshops, and providing a community for creation and collaboration.
