The final data is a text file with accelerator name, founder name, profile summary, experience, and education. It can be found at:

==Accelerator Founders Search==
Our LinkedIn Recruiter Pro account has expired. Unfortunately, it turns out that profiles cannot be viewed through LinkedIn if the target profile is 3rd degree away or further. However, a Google search on such a LinkedIn profile will still let you view the profile, provided that an account has been logged into prior to the search.
In order to get our data, we will piggyback on Google's web crawler to work around the LinkedIn protective wall. The crawler begins by logging into our test LinkedIn Account (credentials displayed at the top), and then launching a Google search for each query. By adding "LinkedIn" before the query, and "Founder" after the query, we can turn up relevant search results. The top 5 results on Google search are explored, scraped, and saved.
