* Opened source link.
* Copied results from "U.S. Based Incubators" into excel spreadsheet.
| 21
|
* Name, City, State
* Url to home page of incubator
| Links to the home page of incubator
| May not be able to get specific information from home page. Limited list of incubators. Some organizations listed may not fall under our definition of an incubator (eg. Y Combinator)
|-
| [http://exchange.inbia.org/network/findacompany/ InterNational Business Incubation Association] or see our [[INBIA]] page
|
* Opened source link
* Entered "United States" for country and clicked "Find Companies"
| 415
|
* Company Name and address
* Link to another page within inbia on that page there is a link to the incubator's homepage
| The database contains information on a lot of economic development institutions and would provide a mass quantity of data
| Challenging for web crawler as link connects to another page within inbia and then link on that page connects to company's homepage. Not all of institutions listed are incubators.
Out of the first ten links there were: 4 incubators, 2 educational programs, 1 broken link, 3 other economic development programs

| Opened Source Link

|
* Company name with link to a separate page within cluster mapping
* on that page there is a link to the incubator's website
| Provides a long list of entrepreneurship organizations
| Often data is missing off of the separate page for the company, including the URL to the company's website. The description is often not detailed enough to determine the category for the economic organization without going to the company's website. Different types of entrepreneurship organizations are mixed together.
Using the first 10 links, three were accelerators, six were missing links (two were self-proclaimed incubators in description), and one was another type of support organization.

| Seems to be a lot of data on accelerators and fewer incubators included
