*Worked with Ed to add/merge data from Crunchbase to existing data. This was a replication of the process but done by Ed in SQL, not Excel. New data can be found in
/McNair/Projects/Accelerators/Summer 2018/'''Merged With Crunchbase Info as of July 17.xlsx'''
NOTE: Use this data rather than the sheet mentioned in yesterday's entry.

*Merged cohort company data with Crunchbase data, by doing a Vlookup then cleaning up data. I used a =IF(A2="",B2,A2) formula to merge cells only when blanks were present. This provided us updated data for four columns:
**colocation (removed 6324 blanks)
**codescription (removed 5151 blanks)
**costatus (removed 7342 blanks)
**courl (removed 6670 blanks)
and new columns:
**address
**founded_on date
**employee_count
**linkedin_url
These new variables can be found in:
/McNair/Projects/Accelerators/Summer 2018/'''Crunchbase Info Populated Empty Cells.xlsx''' (OUTDATED:: DON'T USE)
Upon Ed's approval, I'll move this sheet to replace Cohort Companies in '''The File to Rule Them All'''.

*Using SQL, matched our cohort companies with information from Crunchbase. This gave us a lot of new information, like employee counts, company status, the date founded, and the location of the company. This data can be found here:
/McNair/Projects/Accelerators/Summer 2018/'''Cohort Companies With Crunchbase Info.xlsx'''

*Merged Clean Cohort Data (Veeral) and Cohort List (new) in the Accelerator Master Variable List file. Cross-referenced this list with Ed's data sent last week, titled accelerator_data_noflag.txt. We found that there are 4866 more entries in the new merged file, meaning Ed's merging may have dropped valid entries. (This was after filtering the list so we only looked at the accelerators on our list).

*Finished manually coding an equity variable in Master Variable List sheet (with the help of [[Maxine Tao]]).
*Finished editing terms of joining accelerator:
*Given the above two tasks, there are five new columns in our Master Variable List sheet:
**Terms of joining - terms of joining accelerator and important details about program
**equity (1/0) - cells contain a 1 if the accelerator take equity, a 0 if an accelerator definitively does not, and is blank if we could not find that information
**equity amount - the % of equity the accelerator will take (can sometimes be a range (eg. 5-7%))
**investment - the $ the accelerator invests in a company to begin, if relevant (also could be a range or a "up to $######")
**notes - anything to comment on previous 4 columns
*Taught [[Maxine Tao]] how to VLookup :D
