==06/20/2018 Update==
This project will begin by working with [[Grace Tan]] and [[Maxine Tao]] to connect accelerators to their founders and cohort companies using Crunchbase and LinkedIn crawlers. Grace and Maxine will go through [www.http://crunchbase.com Crunchbase] and find the UUID for companies and their founders. Connect them using SQL and feed the names of founders into our LinkedIn crawler (headed by [[Grace Tan]]).
Accelerators linking to cohort companies is slightly more difficult. Here, we will focus only on accelerators which take equity from their cohort companies (found in Ed’s updated spreadsheet). We will find investments of a given accelerator, and assumes (or checks if that is possible) the company is taking equity in the company it invests in, and the date they invested is the year of the cohort for that company.
