===Review===
Reliable source for specific URLs to older accelerators, not very helpful for more specific information.
Data Web crawling seems improbable because information is not readily available from source. Can potentially mine staff information or contact information from associated "about" page ==http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators/all==Opened source websiteCopied "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 missingOn 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-upsWeb 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.
