And out of the 15 incubator names, 11 were in our '''incubators''' table (irrespective of location), and of these y had name variation(s).
Fortunately the count is small, so we can conduct a manual review. For the Google crawler, we only count a hit if the website of the incubator itself is included in the results, rather than a news article or other information that references the incubator.  ==Results== In the table below, 1 indicates the incubator was present in the source, and 0 indicates it was absent. The last column, labelled '''any''' records if the incubator was in our complete seed data, comprised of the '''incubator''' table and the [[Google Crawler]] results.

Notes:
*For The Hatchery, the NY location is also in AngelList
*For Bunker Labs, the Austin location is missing but the Seattle location is in US Incubators, the Chicago location is in AngelList, and the Google crawler found an Arlington, VA location too.
*For Galvanize, the Seattle location is in US Incubators and the San Francisco and New York City locations are both in AngelList.
 
'''Overall, 73% of the incubators in the hand-collected data are present in the seed data.'''
 
The three of the four absent incubators have a university affiliation. AU Entrepreneurship Incubator is based at American University in DC, IncubatorCTX is based at Concordia University in Northwest Austin, and Discovery Launchpad at UMN is at the University of Minnesota. This suggests that we would need another source of data to capture academic incubators. The fourth missing incubator is the branch office of a chain (Galvanize). This chain does not describe itself as an incubator but appears to meet the criteria for one. We could attempt to put together data on incubator chains and their offices separately. The data also suggests that the different sources do capture different incubators. There is little apparent correlation between the sources, and the Google Crawler is the only one to capture more than half of the incubators.
