*'''List of Preliminary Accelerators'''
**Original Location: [[Accelerator Seed List (Data)]]
**Description: This is the very first master list we compiled of potential accelerators. Look to [[Accelerator Seed List (Data)]] for process.
**Variables: Names of potential accelerators
*'''Cleaned Cohort Data'''
**Original Location: Bulk(E:)\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Fall 2017
**Description: This Excel file contains all data on all cohort companies for our entire list of current accelerators. All missing accelerators were updated by Veeral and we have used this as our final list of cohort companies for all accelerators.
**Variables: Accelerator Name, Company Name, Description, Website, Industry, Location, Acquisition, Notes, Inverstors, Perks, Status, Funding Stage, Founder, Executive, Program, Cohort, Year

*'''Cohort Directory "Big Push"'''
**'''Data'''
***Original Location: Bulk(E:)\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\
***Description: This folder contains files for each of the accelerators that we searched through from the "List of Preliminary Accelerators". There are three files per accelerator: 1) The "accelerator name.txt" file which contains each of the variables recorded by all of the McNair Center workers during our big push on the project winter 2016, 2) The .html file for the cohort page if the entry was indeed an accelerator and if the worker could find the cohort page on that accelerator, and 3) a "accelerator name.cohort.txt" file which contains a list of the cohort companies as well as all variables which were easily found alongside the cohort.

***Location: Bulk(E:)\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Code+Final_Data
***Description: These files contain the code which Peter used to categorize the data from the "Data Copy" folder in Bulk(E:)\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\, which is just a copy of our cleaned data file. From this code, Peter returned for us a list of accelerators categorized by their flag and a compiled list of all the cohort companies as well as the variables recorded by McNair workers.
