→3. Small Presence of Privately-Owned DC Incubators Not A Part of A Larger, National Incubator Group, Partially due to Complexity of DC Geography
=='''3. Small Presence of Privately-Owned DC Incubators Not A Part of A Larger, National Incubator Group, Partially due to Complexity of DC Geography'''==
- DC has a small presence of privately-owned DC incubators that are not a part of a larger, national incubator group. Privately-owned incubators have difficulty succeeding in Washington DC due to a variety of factors, including: the complexity of arranging funding from public and private sector partners due to the metropolitan area spanning two states and the District; the difficulty of meeting target objectives for funding due to the complexity of determining metrics, such as job creation, in each state.
