=='''1. Difficult to Determine Information About Clients at DC locations of Incubators'''==
-It is difficult to determine information about clients at DC locations due to many incubators being located in multiple locations across the DC area, the U.S., and other countries. Moreover, many of these incubators do not provide a list of clients for each location, but, instead, list all of their clients across locations on one page.

=='''2. Complexity of Determining the Revenue and Funding Offerings of DC Incubators Due to Prevalence of Government-Backed Incubators and Many Being A Part of Larger, National Incubator Groups'''==
-It is difficult to determine the revenue and funding offers of DC incubators, partially as a result of: 1. the prevalence of government-backed incubators; and 2. many being a part of larger, national incubator groups. The prevalence of government-backed incubators complicates determining the revenue and funding offerings of DC incubators since these incubators often do not directly provide funding for incubators

The prevalence of government-backed incubators complicates determining the revenue and funding offerings of DC incubators since these incubators often do not directly provide funding for incubators,but, instead, connect clients to existing government funding resources (i.e.  [http://www.mcinnovationnetwork.com/ Montgomery County Innovation Network]). The prevalence of incubators that are a part of larger, national incubator groups complicates determining the revenue and funding offerings of DC incubators since these incubator groups are located in multiple locations across the DC area, the U.S., and other countries. Moreover, most of these groups do not provide revenue information for each of their locations, but, instead, combine their revenue across locations into one total revenue number.
