Civic Hall was not and is not a "tech incubator". It was established as a center for Civic Tech See: https://web.archive.org/web/20150214073908/http://civichall.org/ and Civic technology
Rasiej (without Sifry) founded Civic Hall @ Union Square by proposing a new and larger version of original to City officials who initially named the project a "Tech Hub" which created significant community opposition.
