=Current Work==As of 05/21/2018 the Google Sheet Workbook has been downloaded to the E drive. The now Excel Workbook is saved at E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Summer 2018\Accelerator Master Variable List.xlsx. This is now the master file.=== Google Master Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ikuxYwp9JIRrjz4qQcbdwTpbHOne-q2PterYTjzofjw/edit?ts=5aa2f1f9#gid=0*Cross-reference sheet with data from Peter's old accelerator consolidation file ("accelerator_data_noflag" and "accelerator_data" in "All Relevant Files") and fill in missing data*Variables that are 100% NOT in these 2 files:**Cohort Breakout?**Subtype**Designed for Students?**Campuses**Stage**Software Tech**What stage do they look for?

File to edit is called "Accelerator type list". Located in the folder E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 20172018\Grouping project of ListOfAccs. More systematic information and instructions are in"Instructions for Accelerator type project" in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2018\Grouping project of ListOfAccs.

NOTE: until we get through all 270 accelerators, we will just categorize each accelerator into the following three categories as quickly as possible with short notes in teh "other info" column for these; once we have this, we will go back through the ones that aren't categorized and add notesto the "other info" column.

*We have compiled a very long list of accelerators from many different databases. For the past couple of weeks, everyone in the center has been going through this list, 20 at a time, classifying each one as an accelerator or not an accelerator, and then proceeding to gather data on the accelerator using the process outlined below. This process went very smoothly. We have successfully gone through about 80% of the list. We are still missing information on the last hundred or so names. All of the collected data is located on the RDP, within the "Accelerators" folder under "Data"or on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ikuxYwp9JIRrjz4qQcbdwTpbHOne-q2PterYTjzofjw/edit?ts=5aa2f1f9#gid=1132417337 "Accelerator Master Variable List" Google sheet].*We have listed all of the startups from the accelerators that have break out cohorts on their website on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ikuxYwp9JIRrjz4qQcbdwTpbHOne-q2PterYTjzofjw/edit?ts=5aa2f1f9#gid=1132417337 "Accelerator Master Variable List" Google sheet]. This contains the following information in the "Cohort List (new)" sheet: accelerator name, year, cohort name, company name, description, founders, category/sector, and location. *Next steps include going through the demo day pages that have been downloaded and writing notes on the different types if possible (see [[Demo Day Page Google Classifier]]).
