#Opened source website#Copied "Seed Accelerators" table to TextPad, data sorted itself into lines. Returned 235 results.#Clicking on the accelerator name itself links to a page with all of its associated startups, up until 6/2016 cohort::*Startup table includes "state", "company name", "website and CrunchBase links", "cohort date", "exit value", and "funding". Many entries for "exit value" are missing, some values for "funding" are missing#On original webpage, each accelerator has a link to its associated home page url::*From the table, each listed entry was an accelerator, although 24 accelerators out of 235 were classified as "dead"::*Each accelerator has an "about" page with information on staff, location, mission statement, philosophy, success, etc. Many links do not offer contact information but rather offer a form to submit.::*Many accelerators do not include founding date, but table suggests that accelerators are as recent as 2016
===Review===
*Reliable source for accelerators, includes list of accelerators both dead and active, as well as their associated start-ups*Web crawling potential is promising; startup table is located within the source for each webpage.*Overall very extensive data for accelerators that are included on the list, but after cross-referencing from other sources shows that seed-db is lacking many newer accelerators; list is not all-inclusive.
