Notes:
- DC includes both incubators and accelerators
- Oregon includes both incubators and accelerators
- Arizona includes both incubators and accelerators
- Nevada includes incubators, accelerators and coworking space
- Clustermapping contains non-US data. They have been highlighted in the spreadsheet
DC, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada where all reprocessed in US Incubators - Reviewed By Ed.xlsx and files named statename-incubators.txt were created for import. For these 4 states, organizations were excluded by default and only included if they self-identified as an incubator in some fashion (name, description, etc.). Note that the US incubators data contains social impact incubators (though it does not appear to contain virtual ones as it is location based).
The SQL script LoadTables.sql, in E:\projects\Kauffman Incubator Project\01 Classify entrepreneurship ecosystem organizations\YiMaResearch\US Incubators, loads all of the tables in the incubators dbase and does the basic manipulation of the data. This code is also in Incubators.sql in E:\projects\Kauffman Incubator Project -- and this file's version was the last one updated.
The resulting assembly of the state data, which also includes cities like Los Angeles, Boston, NYC, and others, results in the USIncubators table and corresponding USIncubators.txt text file, which has 707 records and the following fields with the following coverage:
- orgname --707
- statecode --707
- url --609
- description --343
- city --524
- address --252
- zip --235
Retrieving Incubators from Crunchbase Database
We are pulling out relevant fields from crunchbase database using incubator uuids chosen by Yi and Libby following the process:
1) Create a file of uuids of incubators
- CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByYi.txt (275)
- CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByLibby.txt (301)
File path: Z:\crunchbase3
2) Load the file into the database
DROP TABLE ChosenShortOrgUUIDs; CREATE TABLE ChosenShortOrgUUIDs ( uuid varchar(100) ); \COPY ChosenShortOrgUUIDs FROM 'CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByYi.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS CSV --275
DROP TABLE ChosenLongOrgUUIDs; CREATE TABLE ChosenLongOrgUUIDs ( uuid varchar(100) ); \COPY ChosenShortOrgUUIDs FROM 'CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByLibby.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS CSV --301
3) Run a query that joins uuids with related fields
Fields we are interested in:
company_name, domain, homepage_url, country_code, state_code, region, city, address, status, short_description, category_list, category_group_list, funding_rounds, funding_total_usd, founded_on, employee_count, A.uuid, primary_role, type
4) Resulting files are in:
Z:\crunchbase3
File names: ChosenLongOrgResults.txt, ChosenShortOrgResults.txt
Useful Regular Exes
1. Replace “\s+$” with [leave blank] to remove all the empty lines
2. Replace "s+$" with [leave blank] to removes all the whitespaces
3. <.*> finds everything that starts with < and ends with >
4. Replace href=" with "\n" to start a new line for each url
5. Replace "\s\s+" with [leave blank] to remove more than one white spaces
6. Replace "(?-s)^(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R" with "\1\2\3\4\5\6\r\n" to merge every six lines
7. Replace "[ ]{2,}" with [leave blank] removes more than one spaces between two words
8. Crtl+Q, B turns on the block select mode
9. Replace " .*" with [leave black] to remove noncharacters
Useful PostgreSQL Script
Loading/Unloading Data
Always load/unload data using the PostgreSQL specific copy function below. Always load tab-delimited data that is UTF-8 encoded, with PC or UNIX line endings, and that has a header row. NEVER DEVIATE FROM THIS (unless there is a VERY good reason, like the source data is huge and comes preformatted differently).
Load using: \COPY tablename FROM 'filename.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
Unload (copy to txt file) using: \COPY tablename TO 'filename.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
Creating Tables
DROP TABLE tablename; CREATE TABLE tablename ( field1 varchar(100), field2 int, field3 date, field4 real );
