Talk:Accelerator Seed List (Data) (view source)
Revision as of 17:07, 2 August 2017
, 17:07, 2 August 2017→Updated Cleaned Cohort List
='''Veeral's Summer Work'''=
==WHAT I'VE DONE==
'''1)''' Used the 2013 Crunchbase Snapshot information to find more accelerators using keyword matching and manual researching/googling. Ended up with ~70 new accelerators which were all added to the current list
'''2)''' Cohorts were manually obtained for each new accelerator and saved under (E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Data) in the form [Accelerator Name].cohort.txt
'''3)''' All new accelerators and corresponding cohorts were added to Cleaned Cohort Data.xls spreadsheet in a new sheet called "Veeral - Updated"
'''4)''' Crawled through the Global Accelerator Network (GAN) site to obtain all of the GAN data. The parser, input, and output is located in (E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\GAN_Data)
'''5)''' Used the Crunchbase "Organizations" data and Whois parser to put together a comprehensive Textfile with all of our current accelerators and information on them (like URL, Location, Creation Date) located in (E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Veeral\Accelerator_Data)
'''6)''' Matched existing SDC Platinum VC funding data (located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\VC Data) with Updated Cohort Data using the Matcher to obtain the Updated AccCo_VC matched file.
'''7)''' Copied the Updated AccCo_VC matched file and the Updated Cohort data textfile into the Z:\Accelerators database location.
==NEXT STEPS==
'''1)''' Calculate the Percent VC funding rates for newly updated accelerator cohort data.
'''2)''' Find a way to obtain more variables for the current list of accelerators.
*POTENTIAL VARIABLES WE WANT:
**Company Type (i.e. Corporate, University, etc)
**Industry (i.e. Health, High-Tech, Food, etc)
**Equity
**Cohort size
**Seed Capital
**Employees
**ANY MORE YOU CAN FIND THAT MAY BE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT
'''3)''' WRITE PAPERS
==All New Files and what they Contain==
'''Accelerator Data'''
(Located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\GAN Data)
==Completing Master List of Accelerators(Process)==
(Note: all files are found and stored under E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators)
'''RESULTS'''
New AccCO_VC Match file - (E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Veeral\Updated AccCo_VC)
COMPLETED MASTER LIST - (E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Veeral\Accelerator_Data)
