Ben Baldazo Research Plans (Plan Page)
Startups of Houston Interactive Maps - The Whole Process
Use Google Maps to find Longitude and Latitude
- Document how to work Geocode.py and what might go wrong
Put through R code to make an interactive map
- Finding and Documenting the processes required to run the R code may be necessary
- Works on Carto and looks really cool
- We do eventually need to have a plug in and a Carto account so that we can post this on the Wiki
Accelerator Quality Issue Brief
Houston Accelerators (issue brief)
Factors to look at
- Value Added
- How to look at this though?
- Market vs Non-Market
- Philanthropic funding?
- If Non-Profit: Propublica will document contributions
- If for profit: call?
- Founded Bottom up? or Top down?
- See if it was founded by a group or individual with actual industry connections (online or phone)
- Philanthropic funding?
- Location
- Proximity to resources
- We may have to update the startups in Houston map for this
- Proximity to resources
- Available Resources (we should generally be able to call or find this on website, these should be things they brag about)
- Flex Space
- Events
- Co-Working
- Connections/Mentorship
- This can also have a judged value based on Mentor/Connection perceived experiece
- Funding (This may be hard but if they offer their own VC we can check through SDC)
- Userbase
- Leadership/Experience qualifications (Linkedin, profiles on their own websites, other bios)
- Have they driven a startup before or been in backseat
- What other qualifications do they have
- Criteria from the Acc Rankings (as long as we have portfolios then we can use SDC for this)
- VC funding history
- IPO
- Acquired
- Any other reviews possible
- Other articles (Xconomy, Houston Chronicle, etc.)
- Info from actually calling the accelerators (Putting a list of questions up on the discussion for Houston Accelerators (issue brief)
- perhaps reviews from startups themselves
- Could look specifically into startups that have gone through multiple accelerators hopefully we have phone numbers on File:HSM10.xlsx
