|Has project output=Content|Has sponsor=Kauffman Incubator Project|Has title=Incubator Classifier - Formulate baseline attributes

These baseline attributes are defined so that incubators, can be separated from non-incubators , and high-growth tech incubators can be separated from other types of incubators. In order for that sort of classification to work, the first question we had to answer was, what is an incubator ([[Defining_IncubatorsDefining Incubators]]). Using this definition, we were able to curate a list of variables to capture key features of an incubator(listed below). Some important attributes that can We wanted to be useful able to distinguish incubators collect the data using web-scraping methods. The attributes are listed belownumeric, yes/no, or categorical.  ==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 '''Sources:''' [[:Incubator Definition Based on a Review of Definitions in the Literature]] [[:Accelerator Definition Based on a Review of Definitions in the Literature]] [[:Hub Definition Based on a Review of Definitions in the Literature]]
