== Defining Hubs ==
'''Summer 2016''' - Last year a master list of 125 "potential" hubs was used. A scorecard was developed which filtered these 125 candidate hubs to determine which of these should be included in the study sample. This method resulted in a sample size of ~ 30. The master list and the final hubs list is titled '''Hubs Data v2_'16'''. It is located here:
Z:\Hubs\2017\hubs_data
'''Summer 2017''' - In order to obtain a more statistically significant sample of hubs, we developed 5 criteria which produce a more relaxed definition of hubs than last year. These include
*Availability of co-working space
*Coding classes or tech events
*Some focus on the tech sector (this is important as our dependent variable is VC funding)
*Presence of an accelerator
*Availability of mentorship for members.
We will review the 125 candidate hubs and select those which satisfy a subset or all of these characteristics.
