Organized the current updated data for our project. 9/12/2017 3:00-5:00 pm: Began going through the Cleaned Cohort Data Excel file and found a short summary few problems with it. Will continue the cleaning process for the rest of what I believe it is the week. 9/13/2017 2:00-5:00 pm: Sorted through Cleaned Cohort Data and finalized our List of Accelerators. We can begin the process of creating our PercentVC table. 9/14/2017 3:00-5:00 pm: Completely finalized our dataset of accelerators and included some helpful linksstartups.
