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 course 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:

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.).
