==Introduction==
*St. Louis
==Data and results== Our data is currently in this Google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ve4X8AwgrhQ1SYxmbadQDnm8LHYVOw9977AWPxy68fU/edit?usp=sharing The data is being cleaned and assembled. When this process is complete, the data should also be put in a table on this wikipage. ==Other information===
====VC Rankings====
We want cities that have some venture capital investment. [[Ranking US Cities by Venture Capital]] provides data on those cities. Data on actively-VC-backed startups for some of our cities are available in E:\projects\vcdb3 in files named Alive2018CityOrState.txt
====TIF data====
It might also be useful to do cities where we have other useful data. One thing we might use is cities listed in the [[TIF Project]], especially:
*Cincinnati (has TIFs but no data)
==Data and results==
Our hand collected data on ecosystem organizations is in this Google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ve4X8AwgrhQ1SYxmbadQDnm8LHYVOw9977AWPxy68fU/edit?usp=sharing
It is also available in the spreadsheet '''Five Ecosystem Incubators.xlsx''' in E:\projects\Kauffman Incubator Project, and is summarized below. It contains organizations that are candidates for consideration as incubators, though many of these firms were later determined not to be incubators, see [[Defining Incubators]] and below. ===General Info about Incubators Ecosystem Organizations in the Five Ecosystems===

===Classifying Ecosystem Participants===
For this section, we consider ecosystem participant in Washington, DC; Boulder, CO; Austin, TX; Burlington, VT; and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis, MN and St. Paul, MN; but not the broader or surrounding cities or areas that we used above.
====Incubators====
We classified the following organizations as incubators:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Classification
! Company Name
! City
! State
|-
| Incubator
| Inclusive Innovation Incubator (In3)
| Washington
| DC
|-
| Incubator
| AU Entrepreneurship Incubator
| Washington
| DC
|-
| Incubator
| Global Development Incubator
| Washington
| DC
|-
| Incubator
| Halcyon Incubator
| Washington
| DC
|-
| Incubator
| The Hatchery
| Washington

|-
| Incubator
| Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET)
| Burlington
| VT
|-
| Incubator
| Austin Technology Incubator
| Austin
| TX
|-
| Incubator
| IncubatorCTX
| Austin

|-

| Economic Growth Business Incubator

|-

| ACC Bioscience Incubator
| Austin

|-
| Incubator
| Bunker Labs
| Austin

|-
| Incubator
| Galvanize
| Austin

|-
| Incubator
| University Enterprisee Laboratories
| St. Paul
| MN
|-
| Incubator
| Discovery Launchpad at UMN
| Minneapolis
| MN
|-
| Incubator
| Lunar Startups
| St. Paul
| MN
|}
There were some important nuances to some of these classifications:
*VCET looks to all appearances online like an incubator or hub but first-hand knowledge reveals that it is really a disjoint collection of co-working spaces, a fund, and other activities.
*Bunker Labs is inside of the Capital Factory (which is a hub). It operates a program for veterans using space from WeWork that qualifies as an incubator.
*Galvanize runs multiple campuses and does not describe itself as an incubator. It also charges for co-working space and courses separately. However, it does provide mentorship (https://www.galvanize.com/mentors) and seems to meet the definition of an incubator.
*The Hatchery is the AARP's innovation lab, but it self-describes as a physical incubator and appears to meet the base definition.
====Other Ecosystem Participants====
Our classification of the other ecosystem participants is as follows:
{| class="wikitable sortable"

|}
Many of these ecosystem participants blurred the lines between categories. It is also worth noting that MobilityX, like Bunker Labs, is located at the Capital Factory. The Impact Hub Austin was classified as a Co-working Space/Hub as it is rather small and insufficiently specialized to be a full blown hub like the Capital Factory (or 1776, 1871, etc.).
