The spreadsheet is made up of approximately 10 different sheets detailing different pieces of information about Houston Accelerators.
#'''Overview''': a broad set of information with all of the obvious information we could find on accelerators from their own page, news articles, or other websites accessible from Google
#'''Scores''': a simplified look at Services provided (based on whether they had office space, mentors, etc.) Competence (Was the leadership comprised of people with obvious experience running a startup and is it Market or Non-Market -which is documented in overview-) and %VC which is the % of companies who received venture capital funding
#'''IndustryAveFromNVCA''': NVCA has the total VC investment in each industry so our first bet at find the average VC investment per company (per industry) was in that sheet
*We ended up using Averages from the SDC pull of all VC invested in companies of all time
#'''%ofAveVC:''' We looked at each company and compared its total investment to the average total investment in that industry. We then took those percents and averaged them for each accelerator
*We realized this would be a bit biased because new companies won't have gone through so many rounds of VC and hence won't have been able to raise as much money. So this measurement wouldn't truly be an accurate estimate
*We also realized that the amount of VC investment can be arbitrary unless the company is eventually Acquired or IPOs for more value than the investment
#'''Acquis''':
