:*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, most recent accelerators from around 2013-2014(as determined from home page)

#Opened source website
#Copied Information under "All Accelerator Programs" to TextPad, already sorted. Returned 190 results
#Each link on parent list leads to individual '''home page url ''' of accelerator
:*Used sample size of 20 links, determined 16 to be accelerators, 2 to be incubators, 2 to be inactive or broken links
===Review===
*Reliable source for specific URLs to older accelerators, not very helpful for more specific information.
*Web crawling seems improbable because information is not readily available from source. Can potentially mine staff information or contact information from associated "about" pagein the home url
==http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators/all==
#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 seed-db 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"
