|Has title=Determinants of Seeds Seed Accelerator Performance: The Horse, the Jockey, and the Racetrack

==Current Work== Note that TFTRTA-AcceleratorFinal.txt in E:\projects\accelerators was updated to included all creation dates and dead dates. This is not reflected below, except that the script had it its load SQL updated too. ===Load the existing data=== Dbase is '''accelerators''' SQL code is in: E:\projects\accelerators\LoadAcceleratorTables.sql This script: Loads files from The File to Rule Them All.xlsx*AcceleratorsFinal 165*cohortsfinal 12941*FoundersMain 187*FoundersExperience 823*FoundersEducation 353 Loads 5 timing info files*Timing1 'Formatted Timing Info.txt' 1167*Timing2 'merging_work.txt' 257*Timing3 'additional_timing_info2-fixed.txt' 1521*Timing4 'SmallBatchTimingInfo.txt' 169*Timing5 'TurkData2ndPush-FormattedTimingWHeaderClean.txt' 1538 See [[Seed Accelerator Data Assembly]] for more information on these files. Determine 'conamecommon' and 'conamevariant' for all conames in timing files and cohortsfinal. Also create an accelerator name lookup file for between timing and TFTRTA ('AcceleratorFinalTimingUnionAcceleratorName.txt') and load it. Use both to build:*TimingUnionNamesProper 3592 (Coname, Accelerator pair)*CohortsFinalCommon 12941 Note that the following 'accelerators' were listed in the timing info but not in TFTRTA:*KarmaTech*Make In LA*Rockstart AI*Talent Tech Labs*Ventures Accelerator*Wake Forest Innovations*White House Demo Day*XRC Labs The timing files were processed and their data was assembled. The stack starts with Attended (12896 obs, 7044 with year and 6493 with year and quarter) and sequentially adds timing information until the last table, Attended5 (15460 obs, 10446 with year and 9871 with year and quarter), is produced. With the exception of timing2, each timing file added new cohort cos. Timing1 and timing5 had evidence URLs (total of just 248 distinct).  ===New Pull=== Made tables:*TheMissing, 129 accs missing total of 4979 cohort cos*ThePresent, 153 accs with total of 10446 cohort cos*ThePresentByYear, 601 acc years*TheReview, 475 acc years -> "TheReview.txt" TheReview.txt was then processed into SearchTerms.txt in E:\projects\accelerators\Google: Accelerator SearchTerm Year After some experimentation, we decided to add the following keywords to every search: demo day graduation pitch competition cohort We fixed up and ran E:\projects\accelerators\Google\DemoDayCrawler.py This script was based on E:\mcnair\Software\Accelerators\DemoDayCrawler.py, rather than the more recent E:\mcnair\Projects\Accelerator Demo Day\Test Run\STEP1_crawl.py The output is:*E:\projects\accelerators\Google\Results.txt 2515*E:\projects\accelerators\Google\Results folder containing html Previously run Google search results are in: *5 results per accelerator -- E:\mcnair\Software\Accelerators\demoday_crawl_full.txt 2777*10 results per accelerator -- E:\mcnair\Projects\Accelerator Demo Day\Test Run\demoday_crawl_full_from_testrun.txt 4351*10 results per select accelerator year -- E:\mcnair\Projects\Accelerator Demo Day\Test Run\demoday_crawl_full.txt 1230 These were all copied to Z:\accelerators and cleaned up, and loaded along with the new Results.txt into '''accelerators'''. The SQL is in E:\projects\accelerators\LoadAcceleratorTables.sql It looks like 2340/2514 of our pages are new... ====Other info==== Found the following list of accelerators by accident: https://www.s-b-z.com/FORMING%20THE%20BUSINESS/db/accelerators.aspx ===To do=== Still to do:#Re-train the classifier#Run the classifier on the Google results#Post the results to Mech Turk#Process the Mech Turk results#Match cohort cos to portcos (regenerate GotVC and add timing)#Match cohort cos to crunchbase again ==Previous Work== The main [[Accelerator Demo Day]] page needs completingwas built by [[Minh Le]] and documented in [[Minh_Le_(Work_Log)]]. See also:*[[Accelerator Seed List (Data)]]*[[Accelerator Data]] ===VC Code=== The old VC code is in E:\mcnair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\DataWorkMatchingEntrepsV2-2.sql It uses vcdb2 and forks off of roundlinejoinerleanff, building the following sequence of tables:*roundlineaggfirmsseq -> roundlineaggseqwexit (using roundlineaggfunds)*RoundLineMasterSeqBase (from roundlineaggseqwexit and 10 LJ'd tables)*RoundLineMasterSeq (RoundLineMasterSeqBase with FirmnameRoundInduTotal, FirmnameRoundInduHist)*Build out by stage -- MatchMostNumerousSeed, MatchHighestRandomSeed, etc.*RoundLineByStageKeys -> MasterByStageBase -> MasterByStage -> MasterByStageKeys -> MasterByStageBlownout  There is untested seq table code at the end of E:\projects\vcdb3\OriginalSQL\MatchingEntrepsV3.sql They build just roundlineaggfirmsseq ===Accelerator Demo Day=== See the [[Accelerator Demo Day]] for more information. We ran the code and posted several iterations to Turk, and completed at least one iteration by hand. from [[Amazon Mechanical Turk for Analyzing Demo Day Classifier's Results]]*E:\mcnair\Projects\Accelerator Demo Day\Turk\batch_results_all_accs_excel.xlsx -- looks like it contains the results of a Turk run. 265 results, 160 usable.*[[Accelerator_Demo_Day#Hand_Collecting_Data]] provides a link to a Google Sheet. This project sheet was downloaded to E:\projects\accelerators\Demo Day Timing Info.xlsx - it contains 136 observations. Files of this format were processed by a script written by Grace? ===Accelerator Code=== The last build was by Ed and Hira. Hira's notes are on the [[Seed Accelerator Data Assembly]] page.  Claims:*dbase is fully likely vcdb2*All data files are in development!Z:/accelerator*The SQL file that loads all data is: LoadAccData.sql.

It's not clear if it was ever run.
