#'''Size (# members)'''
#*'''''Levels:'' ''' Count for companies (currently not planning to include list of companies given that some potential hubs have 200+ members)
#*''' ''Difficulty:'' ''' Some companies don’t list all members - only selective ones-, others do not separate current members and alumni, and some just write "we have served more than 120 startups..."
#*''' ''Approach:'' ''' For companies that have a list, we will count. For those with select members, we will count those they listed and try to see if there is a comment about how many they have. For those that just have a statement "with over," we will write the number and + (e.g. "120+).
