*Cross-reference sheet with data from Peter's old accelerator consolidation file ("accelerator_data_noflag" and "accelerator_data" in "All Relevant Files") and fill in missing data<br />
*Variables that are 100% NOT in these 2 files:<br />
**Cohort Breakout?<br />
**Subtype<br />
**Designed for Students?<br />
**Campuses<br />
**Stage<br />
**Software Tech<br />
**What stage do they look for?<br />
<br />
TODO:<br />
McNair/Projects/Accelerators/Fall 2017/unfound_founders.txt<br />
A 0 means we don't have founder data for that accelerator.<br />
Specs: A tab delimited text file with the following fields:<br />
Accelerator First Name Last Name LinkedInURL(if possible)<br />
Getting the LinkedInURL will ensure accuracy, but will work without it.<br />
<br />
<br />
*Shrey: Find "demo day" keywords, so that we can search AcceleratorName Year Keyword and get back potential demo day pages<br />

==Accelerator Type project==<br />
<br />
File to edit is called "Accelerator type list". Located in the folder E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2018\Grouping project of ListOfAccs. More systematic information and instructions are in"Instructions for Accelerator type project" in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2018\Grouping project of ListOfAccs.<br />
<br />
NOTE: until we get through all 270 accelerators, we will just categorize each accelerator into the following three categories as quickly as possible with short notes in teh "other info" column for these; once we have this, we will go back through the ones that aren't categorized and add notes to the "other info" column. <br />
<br />
<br />
Type list:<br />
*Private<br />
*Corporate<br />
*Academic<br />
Note: if DEAD, noted here.<br />
<br />
<br />
Other info:<br />
*nonprofit? (y/n)<br />
<br />
*Subtype abbreviations:<br />
**S: for if a social entrepreneurship initiative<br />
**I: for if an incubator<br />
**A: for an angel group<br />
**F: for foreign<br />
**C: for in coworking space/hub/etc<br />
**V: for if part of venture fund<br />
**G: for if government funded/partnered<br />
**T: for international<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: subtypes (from individual text files in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Code+Final_Data) were only found for 23 of the 270 accelerators. These accelerators were initially intended to be removed from the master list. Remaining subtypes are currently being added.<br />
<br />
other info: <br />
<br />
international offices, founders, industries, org type, program duration, or other interesting, easily accessed variables. Additional information is especially important for accelerators that have no other subtype abbreviation listed.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Steps to research an accelerator===<br />
<br />
1. Copy/paste URL listed in Accelerator type list file into google. If website is insufficient, try googling:<br />
the name of the accelerator<br />
the name of the accelerator + "crunchbase"<br />
the name of the accelerator + "nonprofit" <br />
<br />
the above steps sometimes lead to other helpful databases/news articles<br />
<br />
2. Note whether: <br />
1) Academic/Corporate/Private <br />
2) For Profit/Nonprofit. Sometimes this isn't directly stated but can be inferred through their description of, say their investment process. If they don't address this at all it's probably For Profit. <br />
3) subtype (S, I, A, F, C, V, G, T). <br />
4) Additional, easily-accessed info. Number 4 is really important if there's no subtype. <br />
<br />
All 270 need to be done by the end of the semester.<br />
<br />
<br />
Type list file saved as <br />
"Accelerator type list" in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Grouping project of ListOfAccs.<br />
The list of ListofAccs, from which we drew Accelerator type list, should have no matches with any of the flagged accelerators in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Code+Final_Data. There are 23 matches though. So all subtypes must be searched and entered manually. Whether some were a nonprofit was listed in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Grouping project of ListOfAccs, called "whether nonprofit...". Accelerators with no info there on whether nonprofit need to have info entered manually.<br />
<br />
=Funded By Accelerators=<br />
<br />
Reference the like-named portion in [[Crunchbase Data#Funded by Accelerators|Crunchbase Data]]<br />
<br />
=End of Semester Report=<br />
The end of semester report will focus on ranking accelerators and environments based on the variables we have gathered. Our primary form of categorization will be ranking individual accelerators based on their venture capital raise rate. We can probably generate information over time for accelerators and the amount of VC they raised to get a sense of what locations have developed in the past five years from the dates of transactions recorded by SDC. To obtain these rankings, we will identify which cohorts companies were trained in, as well as complete details of the accelerator and the details of cohort companies. We will focus only on accelerators because there are many other entities in each ecosystem. We will also utilize information on IPO or acquisition by companies, obtained through Crunchbase, to gain some sense of how successful startups emerging from a particular accelerator are. To obtain the data over time, we will need to fill out the cohort date information column in our cohort data, which will require the help of either Crunchbase or the Wayback machine for older accelerators. In ranking the accelerators across regions, we can also track industry-specific hotspots for accelerators such as medicine in Memphis or technology in San Francisco.<br />
<br />
To complete the report, we need to fill information in:<br />
*Industry and focus<br />
*Location<br />
*Name, description<br />
*Matched VC data<br />
*Founder information (maybe)<br />
<br />
=Overview=<br />
This project is developing broad and near-population data on accelerators and their cohort companies. The objective is to identify which cohorts of which accelerators a cohort company was trained in, obtain details of the accelerators, and obtain details of the cohort companies, including information about any venture capital investment that the cohort company might have received and any IPO or acquisition the company may have experienced.<br />
<br />
The primary use of this data is for an academic paper detailed on the [[Matching Entrepreneurs to Accelerators and VCs (Academic Paper)]] page. <br />
<br />
However, this project can also provide useful data to other academic papers ([[Urban Start-up Agglomeration]], [[Hubs (Academic Paper)]], and [[Hubs Scorecard (Academic Paper)]]), projects ([[Houston Entrepreneurship]]) and blog posts (under the [[Emerging Ecosystems]] umbrella project).<br />
<br />
This project needs the results of the [[Industry Classifier]], [[Whois Parser]], and other tools.<br />
<br />
=Current Project Write-Up=<br />
<br />
==Things To Do==<br />
*Obtain all URLs for accelerators in order to run through the Wayback Machine to find out when they started.<br />
*Match Crunchbase Data with our Accelerator List to see if they have any accelerators that we do not.<br />
*Obtain an example of accelerator that started early and has multiple companies but does not separate them into cohorts and figure out a way to determine which companies went through each cohort.<br />
<br />
==What Each File in the "Accelerator" Folder on the RDP Contains==<br />
*"Accelerator List Sources" (Folder) - This folder contains most of the sources that we pulled accelerator names from at the very beginning of the project.<br />
*"Code+Final_Data" (Folder) - This folder contains Peter's code for pulling the data from the text files in the "Data" folder.<br />
*"Crunchbase Snapshot" (Folder) - This folder contains the data we obtained from Crunchbase. There is a massive amount of data which we will need to sort through to find useful information and hopefully match that data with our current cohort data.<br />
*"Data" (Folder) - This folder contains all of our data on accelerators including cohort information and the html files of each cohort page. I would estimate that it is about 95% clean currently.<br />
*"Data - Copy" (Folder) - This is just a copy of our current "Data" folder.<br />
*"Data_Copy" (Folder) - This is a copy of our original "Data" folder before we did any manual cleaning.<br />
*"Enclosing_Circle" (Folder) - This folder seems to contain some data on VC but I'm not sure how it pertains to the Accelerator project.<br />
*"F6S Accelerator HTMLs" (Folder) - This folder contains the HTML pages of all the pages on the F6S website. We used it to add more potential accelerators to our list.<br />
*"Google_SiteSearch" (Folder) - This folder contains Python code for Google searches.<br />
*"Industry_Classifier" (Folder) - This folder seems to contain Python code but I'm not sure what for.<br />
*"Matcher" (Folder) - This folder contains the Matcher.<br />
*"Python WebCrawler" (Folder) - This folder contains code that is a work in progress for pulling descriptions from accelerator websites. It is Jeemin's project.<br />
*"Cleaned Cohort Data Copy" (Excel File) - This file contains a copy of our cleaned cohort data.<br />
*"Cleaned Cohort Data" (Excel File) - This file contains the most current, completely cleaned data on cohort company information.<br />
*"NormalizeFixedWidth" (PL File) - This is the normalizer.<br />
*"PortCoNames" (TXT File) - This file contains all of the names of the cohort companies as well as the accelerator they went through.<br />
*"VC Data" (Excel File) - This file contains all of the names of the companies that have ever received VC funding.<br />
*"VC_Data" (TXT File) - This file contains that non-normalized data of all of the VC information.<br />
*"VC_Data_Names" (TXT File) - This file contains all of the names of companies that have received VC funding.<br />
*"VC_Data_Names_Matched_PortCoNames" (Excel File) - This file contains all of the cohort companies that have also received VC funding. Still needs to be sorted through.<br />
<br />
==Process==<br />
After accumulating the massive amount of data on accelerators, their cohorts, and their html files, we began cleaning those text files, which are located in the "Data" folder within "Accelerators". After going through the first round of cleaning, we ran a code through the cohort data which put all of that information into an Excel document called "Cleaned Cohort Data". There were still some mistakes in the cohort information unfortunately, which we fixed within the Excel file itself. Therefore, there are some text files within the "Data" folder that do not match with the "Cleaned Cohort Data" file. If we were to run the cohort code through the "Data" folder, we would get something that does not match with the "Cleaned Cohort Data" file, which is problematic. The solution to this (other than manually cleaning the text files again) would be to write a code from the "Cleaned Cohort Data" file which would allow us to clean the data in the "Data" folder through the format of the Excel file. We have also matched all of the cohort companies with our list of all companies that have received VC funding.<br />
<br />
=Current To Do=<br />
<br />
#Work on the [[Crunchbase 2013 Snapshot]]<br />
#Match cohort companies to VC-backed portfolio companies<br />
#Refine our data to work out which cohort each cohort company was a member of, cohort start dates and locations, etc.<br />
#Make a list of top accelerator lists (e.g., http://tech.co/top-startup-accelerators-ranked-2012-08) and check that we have those accelerators<br />
<br />
=End of Semester Notes=<br />
<br />
*We have compiled a very long list of accelerators from many different databases. For the past couple of weeks, everyone in the center has been going through this list, 20 at a time, classifying each one as an accelerator or not an accelerator, and then proceeding to gather data on the accelerator using the process outlined below. This process went very smoothly. We have successfully gone through about 80% of the list. We are still missing information on the last hundred or so names. All of the collected data is located on the RDP, within the "Accelerators" folder under "Data" or on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ikuxYwp9JIRrjz4qQcbdwTpbHOne-q2PterYTjzofjw/edit?ts=5aa2f1f9#gid=1132417337 "Accelerator Master Variable List" Google sheet].<br />
*We have listed all of the startups from the accelerators that have break out cohorts on their website on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ikuxYwp9JIRrjz4qQcbdwTpbHOne-q2PterYTjzofjw/edit?ts=5aa2f1f9#gid=1132417337 "Accelerator Master Variable List" Google sheet]. This contains the following information in the "Cohort List (new)" sheet: accelerator name, year, cohort name, company name, description, founders, category/sector, and location. <br />
*Next steps include going through the demo day pages that have been downloaded and writing notes on the different types if possible (see [[Demo Day Page Google Classifier]]).<br />
<br />
=Data Collection Notes=<br />
<br />
==MATCHING==<br />
<br />
The files we used to match are located in the E drive. We used the matcher to match our portfolio company names from the cohort file located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators. <br />
*The files used to matching are located E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Matcher<br />
*Portco is the name of the companies pulled from the cohort file<br />
*AccCo includes both the cohort company name, along with the name of the accelerator itself<br />
*In the matcher, the inputs are the PortCo names, as well as the VC data from our pull in SDC<br />
*The outputs include the AccCo_VC data located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators which give a lot of information on the matches, including:<br />
:*name of the match itself<br />
:*number of investments<br />
:*dates that the company received its investments<br />
<br />
==SDC Pull==<br />
<br />
We accessed SDC platinum and pulled information on round-based funding that all registered companies received from between the years 1999 to 2017.<br />
<br />
The receipt is as follows:<br />

==3 files==<br />
<br />
For each accelerator in the list, put files in E:\Projects\Accelerators\Data<br />
*AcceleratorName.txt - copy and paste the variables below into a (tab-delimited) txt file and complete<br />
*AcceleratorName.cohort - your cohort text file (see below)<br />
*AcceleratorName.html (possibly automatically with a folder too) - save a copy of the html of the cohort page<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Try to get '''Name, Score, Flag, Cohort URL and Address''' for all. ONLY GRAB OTHER VARIABLES IF EASY. Just leave things blank if you can't find them quickly.<br />
<br />
'''If the score is 0, or the flag is S, I, A, or F just stop''' - don't bother downloading a cohort list, saving an HTML file, etc. If possible, do stick a very brief description of the problem in the notes field.<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
*Score: is 0-1 where 0 is definitely not an accelerator, 1 is definitely an accelerator<br />
*Flag: (leave blank if not needed), if multiple then separate by comma<br />
**S for social entrep<br />
**I for incubator<br />
**A for an angel group<br />
**F is for foreign<br />
**C for in coworking space/hub/etc<br />
**V for if part of venture fund<br />
**D is for Dead<br />
*Put just the root URL in Cohort URL if there isn't a Cohort page<br />
*Duration: in wks (months x 4.33 and round)<br />
*Vintage is year of first cohort if possible<br />
*Industry is industry focus but only if clear focus<br />
*Equity is a number (don't put %) or Y/N<br />
*Notes is only there if need it. Particularly try to use this field to note discards.<br />
<br />
==.cohort files==<br />
<br />
Your .cohort files must:<br />
*Be tab delimited txt<br />
*Have a header<br />
*The first column must be the portfolio company name<br />
*Grab as many columns as you can easily (and name them)<br />
<br />
==Standardized format for text files==<br />
<br />
Information Text file<br />
*1 tab only after each category<br />
*No spaces after commas for flags or industry<br />
*For duration put only a number in weeks but do not write "weeks"<br />
*Equity is either only a number (no percent sign) or a Y/N<br />
<br />
<br />
Cohort Text file<br />
*1 tab between each column<br />
*Titles of each column on top<br />
*Make a new category for "Cohort Number" and write either "1 2 3 4 etc."<br />
*Matthew: 1-225 (done) Shrey: 226-550 (done)<br />

=Project Summary=<br />
This project will be used to determine which accelerators are the most effective at churning out successful startups, as well as what characteristics are exhibited by these accelerators. First, we need to gather as much data as we can about as many accelerators as we can in order to look at factors that differentiate successful vs. unsuccessful ventures. Next, we need to create a web crawling program which will gather information about accelerators across the world by accessing their websites and extracting information. I believe that our overall goal with this research project is to gain insight into the methods of successful accelerators, as well as to find out what exactly differentiates very successful accelerators from dead accelerators.<br />

<br />
=Sources=<br />
<br />
Summary: These are sources obtained from [[List of Accelerators]], Crunchbase, and other Google searches. We will evaluate these sources by looking at the number of accelerators they supply (as most of them are lists) and then also taking a look at the type of information they provide about each accelerator. Key data points are cohort-related data, startup-related data, and logistics of the accelerator. Better sources supply more information that the URL alone.<br />

Other ways used to find Accelerators (listed below "List of Sources Obtained from Various Google Searches"):<br />
*Type in generic location + "accelerators" (e.g. Houston Accelerators)<br />
:*Looked at roughly the first 20 results<br />
:*Used three locations as examples of accelerators that pop up<br />
*Type in a specific state + "accelerator" + "list" (e.g. Texas accelerator list) to search for more relevant lists<br />
:*Once again, looked at roughly the first 20 results<br />
*Crunchbase has its own webpage with instructions for how we retrieve the data<br />
<br />
=Source Evaluations=<br />
<br />
Summary: These evaluations couple with each of the sources above. The evaluations provide instructions for obtaining the information listed, as well as a general review of how useful the data seems. The review serves to determine whether a crawler would be suitable for obtaining information from the source autonomously.<br />
<br />
==SOURCE: Crunchbase==<br />
*All of the information for the Crunchbase documentation is located in the page [[Crunchbase 2013 Snapshot]] webpage, along with the documentation for how we determined the accelerator information.<br />
<br />
==Source: http://www.acceleratorinfo.com/see-all.html==<br />
#Opened source website<br />
#Copied Information under "All Accelerator Programs" to TextPad, already sorted. Returned 190 results<br />
#Each link on parent list leads to individual '''home page url''' of accelerator<br />
:*Used sample size of 20 links, determined 16 to be accelerators, 2 to be incubators, 2 to be inactive or broken links<br />
:*Many accelerators do not include founding date, most recent accelerators from around 2013-2014 (as determined from home page)<br />
===Review===<br />
*Reliable source for specific URLs to older accelerators, not very helpful for more specific information.<br />
*Web crawling seems improbable because information is not readily available from source. Can potentially mine staff information or contact information from associated "about" page in the home url<br />

===Review===<br />
*Reliable source for accelerators, includes list of accelerators both dead and active, as well as their associated start-ups<br />
*Web crawling potential is promising; startup table is located within the source for each webpage. Can also mine any category from the accelerator table<br />
*Overall very extensive data for accelerators that are included on the list, but after cross-referencing from other sources shows that seed-db is lacking many newer accelerators; list is not all-inclusive.<br />
*Includes regional distributions for accelerator groups as well. For example, rather than just "Techstars", the group is broken into Austin, Berlin, Boston, Boulder, etc.<br />
<br />
==Source: http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators==<br />
:Very similar to "http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators/all", but contains large regional accelerators as groups, rather than individual accelerators. For example, Techstars appears only once.<br />
#Copied "Seed Accelerators" table to TextPad, data sorted itself into lines. Returned 239 results.<br />
#Clicking on the accelerator name itself links to a page with all of its associated startups, up until 6/2016 cohort<br />
::*Startup table includes same information as previous source, "http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators/all". However, accelerators spanning across multiple regions have their startups located under one category on this webpage.<br />
:On original seed-db webpage, each accelerator has a link to its associated home page url<br />

#On the webpage, set "Type" to "Accelerator/Program", set "Location" to "North America", and set "Invest in Country" to "United States" to return results<br />
#Highlighted results and scrolled down until all results found; copied results to TextPad<br />
#In TextPad, sorted out lines with "by", as well as miscellaneous categories such as dates and dollar signs through Regular Expressions<br />
#Using the "More Info" line which held constant through the entire list, assigned a sequential number to the line (in order to determine the number of results)<br />
::*Obtained a grand total of 1467 results from the list<br />
::*Along with the name of the program/accelerator, the data included:<br />
::#Dollar value per team<br />
::#Equity<br />
::#Application Site<br />
::#Accelerator URL<br />
::*Many entries are not accelerators, from a quick glance through the results, there were various conferences, 3-5 days events, and written literature pertaining to accelerators as well<br />
::*From a sample size of the first 30 entries, determined 10 to be valid accelerators, 3 incubators, 6 conferences/weekends, and the rest to be miscellaneous entries such as startup events or "studios" (perhaps useful but not relevant to search)<br />
::*As we go down the list, the number of accelerators proportionately decreases. Can comfortably say that overall accelerator turnout from this website is much less than 33%, probably closer to 10-15%.<br />
===Review===<br />
*Potentially useful website if crawler could remove the clutter and target solely the accelerators; very useful for identifying new accelerators since data automatically sorted by date and location.<br />
*Large list of sources includes many irrelevant results, such as conferences or weekends which are difficult to identify. The name of the sorting category itself, "Accelerator/Program" suggests that many of the results fall under the "Program" section rather than being valid accelerators.<br />
*Potential site for identifying accelerators, but limited by in-site sorting; useful for URL and perhaps equity, but not very detailed information relating to the accelerator/program.<br />

===Review===<br />
*Website provides its own evaluation of an accelerator's success based on various factors and provides data for larger trends.<br />
*Usefulness is questionable because website does not provide much except the URL, and all of the entries are based on success in 2015.<br />
*Other interesting data within website such as "Hot Markets", investment breakdowns by state, etc. All of this data is also limited to 2015.<br />

===Review===<br />
*Although the guide is dated, useful for identifying strong accelerator programs in Boston<br />
*Limitation: only focuses on Boston, but the description is helpful in identifying the role of the accelerator<br />
*Limited information on accelerator, not very useful by itself without information from the accelerator URL<br />

*Solid list for corporate accelerators and also includes a variety of information about the accelerator, the cohorts, etc. Some of the entries are international accelerators however so need to filter them out<br />
*Only limited to 72 accelerators from major companies<br />

#Since we already looked at the first listed source (seed-db), I clicked on the second link "(by Robert Shedd) http://blog.shedd.us/321987608/" which took me to a page headed "Help for Startups! – A semi-complete list of startup accelerator programs" created by a blogger, Robert Shedd<br />
#List included 102 entries by the blogger, each of which do look like an accelerator<br />
::*Upon immediate overview, noticed many results from previous sources were missing. Immediately noticed lack of "OwlSpark", the accelerator from Rice.<br />
::*Shedd only offers us the accelerator name plus its URL<br />
===Review===<br />
*Nice list to cross-reference with other sources but does not offer much new insight compared to more powerful engines such as seed-db\<br />
<br />
=List of Sources Obtained from Various Google Searches=<br />
<br />
Summary: These accelerators are taken from a specific Google search rather than a list. The idea is to compile a list of Google searches that return relevant results of accelerators. This will aid in the creation of a future web crawler.<br />

===Review===<br />
*Some locations return more viable results for a similar sample size. For example, New York returned 9 valid accelerators, whereas Los Angeles and Houston both returned 5 actual accelerators out of the first 20 results: an 80% difference. Some optimization may come from identifying which locations return more accelerators upon searching.<br />

Notes:<br />
*Seed-DB appears for almost all of the search results<br />
*Acceleratorinfo appears for most of the search results<br />
*There are multiple cumulative reports of incubators per location, but not for accelerators<br />
*Most regionalized accelerator lists deal with either an article or a ranking of a particular amount of accelerators in the area<br />
*Many results returned nationally ranked lists of accelerators, such as the Forbes list of "Top Accelerators" or something along the lines of "Best Accelerators in the US". The connection is that perhaps one accelerator mentioned on the list may be located within the searched state.<br />
*There are also a few results for actual particle accelerators that must be sorted out (i.e. superconducting super collider)<br />

=Individual Accelerator Evaluations=<br />
Summary: The purpose of this section is to create instructions for each accelerator on how to find cohort information from their URLs. Along with specific instructions for obtaining the cohorts for each accelerator chosen, there should be a list of easy-to-obtain and relevant statistics regarding the accelerator, such as information about its team, location, etc. The variable statistics list is cumulative, whereas the cohort directions are unique per the accelerator.<br />

==Accelerator: Blue Startups (http://bluestartups.com/)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Navigated to "Track Record" page under the "Home" tab; found total number of graduated cohorts to be 7<br />
#Navigated to "Portfolio" tab. Tab includes list of all seven graduated cohorts along with companies emerging from each one. Each cohort is listed under a separate page (ex. "Cohort 1", "Cohort 2", etc) and at the bottom of each cohort page, there is a link to the other 6. Each company has a short description along with its URL.<br />
#An "Alumni News" page at the bottom of "Portfolio" includes articles pertinent to graduated startups.<br />
#Unfortunately does not include the date and year of each cohort class, but perhaps could cross-reference with other sources.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Launchpad LA (http://launchpad.la/)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Navigated to "Companies" in the top of the homepage<br />
#"Companies" returns all companies backed by Launchpad LA based on their class year and number (cohort)<br />
#:*Also sorted by active startups vs. inactive startups<br />
#At the bottom of the "Companies" tab, there is a statistical layout returning values for the number of companies started by Launchpad during its time as an accelerator (2012-present), as well as the total funding funneled into the accelerator.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Y Combinator (http://www.ycombinator.com)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Scrolled down on the home page and clicked on a link entitled "See all companies".<br />
#Navigated to a drop down menu named "All Batches", and clicked on it to expand the list.<br />
#List is made up of dates ranging from 2005-2016, and these dates return lists of launched companies including most but not all of their URL's, as well as their launch year.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Flashpoint (http://flashpoint.gatech.edu/)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#On upper right corner after animation, there is a tab sign which lets you navigate to a page labeled "Teams"<br />
#The "Team" page has each batch of companies emerging from Georgia Tech, although it does not include the dates or cohorts of these companies. For example, "Batch 1" at the top of the page just lists the companies in the batch without URLs or any additional information.<br />
#On the "Application" page on the tab near the top, there is information regarding Batch 7, which begins early 2017. Suggests that batch 6 either ended spring 2016 or fall 2016.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Prosper Women Entrepreneurs (http://www.prosperstl.com)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Navigated to "Accelerator" tab and clicked "Companies" when prompted with the drop down menu.<br />

#Companies were not sorted by cohort or in any other relevant way.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Techstars (http://www.techstars.com)==<br />
Finding the cohorts:<br />
#Navigated to the Accelerators tabs and clicked "Companies" on the drop down menu.<br />
#Firstly, this returns a table comprised of a long list of different classes from different areas separated by years.<br />
#Upon scrolling down further, each of these classes is broken down by the startups that graduated from them. It also includes information such as how much was invested in each startup, as well as whether or not the startup was acquired, is active, or failed.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Startmate (http://www.startmate.com.au)==<br />
Finding the cohorts:<br />
#Navigated to the "Startups" tab, which returned a page of all startups that have graduated from Startmate.<br />
#Startups are separated by year of graduation, and each company is linked on this page.<br />
#It appears as if each year, 1 cohort is taken through the accelerator.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Capital Factory (https://capitalfactory.com/accelerate/)==<br />
Finding the cohorts:<br />

==Variables which Distinguish Accelerator Websites==<br />
*The word "Accelerator"<br />
**This word appears at least one time on the home page of the vast majority of accelerator websites. The word "Accelerator" appears either as a link to another page on the website or in a title on the homepage of the website. Not many other websites contain this word on their homepage, especially not if one Googles something generic such as "Accelerators in the US".<br />
<br />
*Fixed Term<br />
**Accelerators normally work with their cohorts for 3 months. This is a major factor which differentiates between an accelerator and any other member of a startup ecosystem. If on their website they mention either "3 months" or "12 weeks", it is extremely likely that the website belongs to an accelerator.<br />
<br />
*Cohorts, Portfolio, Class, or Companies<br />
**This is a potential variable that could link the websites of many different accelerators. The problem with the word "portfolio" is also used by numerous venture capital firms, which could potentially cause complications when attempting to pull only the sites of accelerators from a Google search. The word "cohort", however, would have an extremely high probability of identifying the website as belonging to an accelerator. The words "class" and "companies" are promising but do not offer certainty.<br />
<br />
*Equity, Investment<br />
**Although by itself, equity does not mean much, when paired with any of these other terms, it could potentially point to an accelerator. Most accelerators take equity in the form of common stock (6-8%), or they will ask for some alternate form of stake in the company.<br />
<br />
*Education and Mentorship<br />
**Accelerators differ from incubators and angel investors in that they emphasize the education of the potential startup. They offer advice and intense mentorship from more experienced entrepreneurs within their staff, as well as many networking opportunities with the outside world. This variable is more difficult to find on the website of the accelerator, but I believe that if the website includes numerous keywords such as "education", "mentorship", or "networking opportunities", it would be somewhat safe to assume that the website is owned by an accelerator.<br />
<br />
*Demo Day<br />
**This variable does not have tremendous potential in terms of crawling websites, but I feel that it is worth mentioning. Most accelerators "graduate" their cohorts with a demo day, which is a day when the startups present their company to potential investors. If the website contains the words "demo day", which is fairly uncommon, it could be a good source of accelerator identification.<br />
<br />
A combination of any of these variables would certainly identify the current website as belonging to an accelerator.<br />
<br />
==Comprehensive List of Accelerators==<br />
<br />
All text files saved in "Accelerators" project on the McNair RPD. <br />
<br />
*Acc.Info: 190<br />
*SeedDB: 240<br />
*SARP: 59<br />
*Corp: 79<br />
*Total: 568 results<br />
<br />
After removing duplicates and locations: 363 results<br />
<br />
Doesn't count f6s, which returns 1170 results, roughly only 300 of which were accelerators. We created a crawler to sift through the webpages and parse HTML so we could identify the accelerators. Program and HTML saved on the Desktop.<br />
<br />
==Randomly Chosen Accelerators==<br />
*TLabs<br />
*BetaSpring<br />
*The Unilever Foundry<br />
*AIA Accelerator<br />
*R/GA Accelerator<br />
*Zeroto510<br />
*Hub:raum<br />
*Orange Fab<br />
*Furnace<br />
*Launch Chapel Hill<br />
<br />
===Determining whether or not these are accelerators===<br />
Googled name of Accelerator and clicked on the first link<br />
<br />
Looked for Variables which Distinguish Accelerator Websites<br />
*TLabs: Homepage states: "Leading Indian Tech Accelerator"; TLabs is an accelerator, but it is located in India.<br />
*Betaspring: Under the "About Betaspring" tab, it states that "Betaspring was among the first ten startup accelerators to launch worldwide".<br />
*The Unilever Foundry: Does not claim to be an accelerator, nor does it have information on the website about cohorts. This name was pulled from the source Corporate Accelerators.<br />
*AIA Accelerator: The word "accelerator" is included in the name. Under the "Overview" tab, it states that startups have received mentorship.<br />
*R/GA Accelerator: Under the "Overview" tab it states that the "R/GA Accelerator is designed for startups and... it is a three month, immersive, mentorship driven program".<br />
*Zeroto510: Website contains a "Portfolio Companies" tab which divides up the companies into cohorts. This identifies Zeroto510 as an accelerator.<br />
*Hub:raum: Offers accelerator and incubator programs; however, none are located in North America.<br />
*Orange Fab: States on the main page that "We're a 3-month accelerator program".<br />
*Furnace: "About" tab states that Furnace is "an innovative startup accelerator designed to form, incubate, and launch new companies". Concludes with a Demo Day<br />
*Launch Chapel Hill: Homepage states that they are "a startup accelerator". Also included on the homepage is a line that states "Applications for Cohort 7 are now open". <br />
<br />
7/10 are accelerators located in the US.<br />
<br />
2/10 are accelerators not located in the US.<br />
<br />
1/10 is not an accelerator.<br />
<br />
===Steps for Extracting Cohort Information===<br />
*TLabs: Clicked on the "Startup" tab and located a drop down menu entitled "Showing Startups from:". This menu separates startups into Batches ranging from 1-9. These batches are cohorts.<br />
*Betaspring: This website does not have a "Companies" or "Startups" tab. I clicked on their "Who" tab and noticed that within this section were two links called "Our portfolio" and "Our companies" which both linked to the same place. This place contained a list of the startups that Betaspring has funded, as well as links to each of the startup websites. The list was not separated into cohorts.<br />
*The Unilever Foundry: Does not have a "Startups" or "Companies" link on the website.<br />
*AIA Accelerator: Clicked on the "Startups" tab which returned a page with 5 companies and a bit of information on each of these companies. Also included the URL to each startup. However, the companies were not separated into cohorts, probably because there are so few of them.<br />
*R/GA Accelerator: Clicked on the "Alumni" tab and navigated down the webpage. Startups are separated by class, which means cohort in this case. Startup info contains link to demo day presentation as well as the startup url.<br />
*Zeroto510: Hovered over the "About Us" drop down menu and clicked on the "Portfolio Companies" link. Startups are separated by cohort, one for each year, starting from 2013. <br />
*Hub:raum: Clicked on the "Portfolio" tab. Directed to a page with many names of startups, as well as a brief description of what their company is about. Also includes a link to each startup's website. Startups are not separated into cohorts, but rather by investment by location, current participants, and alumni.<br />
*Orange Fab: Clicked on the "Startups" tab and was directed to a different page. Startups are not only separated into cohorts named "Seasons", but they are also separated by industry.<br />
*Furnace: Clicked on "Portfolio" tab, but unfortunately the website is broken and it returned an error in code.<br />
*Launch Chapel Hill: Clicked on the "Ventures" tab and was directed to a page in which all startups were separated into cohorts, and a brief description of the startup was provided underneath their logo.<br />

=Code=<br />
<br />
The directory for all data related to this project is located in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators<br />
<br />
<br />
==F6S Web Crawler==<br />
<br />
This is a python script using the selenium library that retrieves the html content of each page on F6S's North American Accelerator search results. The script is located in:<br />
<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs <br />
<br />
The script is titled f6s_crawler_gentle.py<br />
<br />
When run, the script visits the F6S search page for North American Accelerator's and begins retrieving the HTML of each page in that search list. <br />
NOTE: Timing must be spaced out between all interactions with the browser. F6S has Captcha, and the program will fail if the site receives too many hit requests, or has any inkling that it is being probed by a bot.<br />
<br />
The Accelerator HTML files are stored in: <br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs\Accelerator_HTML_files<br />
<br />
The Accelerator HTML files stored as text files are stored in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs\Accelerator_HTML_files_text<br />
<br />
==F6S Parser==<br />
The next step is to take the HTML files retrieved by the crawler and to parse them for necessary information. This parser should also determine whether or not the site is an accelerator site. <br />
<br />
The code for the parser is located in <br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs<br />
<br />
It is titled f6s_parser.py<br />
<br />
To run the code, open the file in Komodo and press play. <br />
If running from the command line, change to the correct directory and run the following comand:<br />
python f6s_parser.py<br />
<br />
The list of accelerators that passed through the parser is in the same directory:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs<br />
<br />
The tab delimited text file is named AcceleratorList.<br />
The file contains the names of the accelerators that had the keywords listed in the file. Also, the file contains the run dates and location of the accelerator if it was listed on the f6s page.<br />
<br />
<br />
==F6S API==<br />
F6S has an API, but we have had no success getting a key to the API. The link to get a key to the API is on [https://www.f6s.com/developers/apis/deal-feed this page].<br />
<br />
I (Peter) have emailed F6S to ask for a key directly at support@f6s.com. As of the end of the Fall 2016 Semester, they have not responded.<br />
<br />
FUN FACT (MASS-RENAME FILES USING WINDOWS POWER SHELL):<br />
<br />
The following command allowed me to append ".txt" to all files in a folder once in the proper directory:<br />
Get-ChildItem * | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name + '.txt'}<br />
<br />
To change file formats, Microsoft suggests:<br />
Get-ChildItem *.txt | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name -Replace '\.txt', '.log'}<br />
<br />
==Final Data==<br />
The Parser for parsing the text files of accelerator data is located in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data<br />
<br />
The Parser for parsing the cohort files of accelerator data is also located in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data<br />
<br />
This folder contains the Python parsers. The Final_data folder contains the tab-delimited text files of parsed data. final_accelerator_data.txt contains the generalized data saved in .txt files and final_cohort_data.txt contains the cohort data saved in .cohort.txt files.<br />
<br />
All the files entitled accelerator_data are subsets of the final_accelerator_data.txt file, but each file contains only the accelerators that matched to the flag specified in the file title.<br />
<br />
find_headers .py finds a set of the headers for all the cohort files from the seed list project.<br />
<br />
==Google SiteSearch==<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Google_SiteSearch<br />
This folder contains code for a google search parser. The script sitesearch.py will search for a queried company and return a likely web address for that company.<br />
<br />
==Way Back Machine Parser==<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data\wayback_machine.py<br />
This script takes URLs and returns a timestamp for the oldest documented webpage under that URL courtesy of the Way Back Machine Archive.<br />
<br />
==Process Locations==<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data\process_locations.py<br />
This script takes a physical address and converts it into latitude and longitude coordinates. Should be used in conjunction with the Enclosing Circle program to find the concentration of accelerators.<br />

===Obtaining More Details on Accelerators===<br />
<br />
*Having the kind of thorough information on industry, companies, funding, location, exits, mentors, leadership, that we got for the GAN companies would be fantastic.<br />

A 0 means we don't have founder data for that accelerator.<br />
Specs: A tab delimited text file with the following fields:<br />
Accelerator First Name Last Name LinkedInURL(if possible)<br />
Getting the LinkedInURL will ensure accuracy, but will work without it.<br />

==Accelerator Type project==<br />
<br />
File to edit is called "Accelerator type list". Located in the folder E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2018\Grouping project of ListOfAccs. More systematic information and instructions are in"Instructions for Accelerator type project" in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2018\Grouping project of ListOfAccs.<br />
<br />
NOTE: until we get through all 270 accelerators, we will just categorize each accelerator into the following three categories as quickly as possible with short notes in teh "other info" column for these; once we have this, we will go back through the ones that aren't categorized and add notes to the "other info" column. <br />
<br />
<br />
Type list:<br />
*Private<br />
*Corporate<br />
*Academic<br />
Note: if DEAD, noted here.<br />
<br />
<br />
Other info:<br />
*nonprofit? (y/n)<br />
<br />
*Subtype abbreviations:<br />
**S: for if a social entrepreneurship initiative<br />
**I: for if an incubator<br />
**A: for an angel group<br />
**F: for foreign<br />
**C: for in coworking space/hub/etc<br />
**V: for if part of venture fund<br />
**G: for if government funded/partnered<br />
**T: for international<br />
<br />
<br />
Note: subtypes (from individual text files in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Code+Final_Data) were only found for 23 of the 270 accelerators. These accelerators were initially intended to be removed from the master list. Remaining subtypes are currently being added.<br />
<br />
other info: <br />
<br />
international offices, founders, industries, org type, program duration, or other interesting, easily accessed variables. Additional information is especially important for accelerators that have no other subtype abbreviation listed.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Steps to research an accelerator===<br />
<br />
1. Copy/paste URL listed in Accelerator type list file into google. If website is insufficient, try googling:<br />
the name of the accelerator<br />
the name of the accelerator + "crunchbase"<br />
the name of the accelerator + "nonprofit" <br />
<br />
the above steps sometimes lead to other helpful databases/news articles<br />
<br />
2. Note whether: <br />
1) Academic/Corporate/Private <br />
2) For Profit/Nonprofit. Sometimes this isn't directly stated but can be inferred through their description of, say their investment process. If they don't address this at all it's probably For Profit. <br />
3) subtype (S, I, A, F, C, V, G, T). <br />
4) Additional, easily-accessed info. Number 4 is really important if there's no subtype. <br />
<br />
All 270 need to be done by the end of the semester.<br />
<br />
<br />
Type list file saved as <br />
"Accelerator type list" in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Grouping project of ListOfAccs.<br />
The list of ListofAccs, from which we drew Accelerator type list, should have no matches with any of the flagged accelerators in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Code+Final_Data. There are 23 matches though. So all subtypes must be searched and entered manually. Whether some were a nonprofit was listed in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Grouping project of ListOfAccs, called "whether nonprofit...". Accelerators with no info there on whether nonprofit need to have info entered manually.<br />
<br />
=Funded By Accelerators=<br />
<br />
Reference the like-named portion in [[Crunchbase Data#Funded by Accelerators|Crunchbase Data]]<br />
<br />
=End of Semester Report=<br />
The end of semester report will focus on ranking accelerators and environments based on the variables we have gathered. Our primary form of categorization will be ranking individual accelerators based on their venture capital raise rate. We can probably generate information over time for accelerators and the amount of VC they raised to get a sense of what locations have developed in the past five years from the dates of transactions recorded by SDC. To obtain these rankings, we will identify which cohorts companies were trained in, as well as complete details of the accelerator and the details of cohort companies. We will focus only on accelerators because there are many other entities in each ecosystem. We will also utilize information on IPO or acquisition by companies, obtained through Crunchbase, to gain some sense of how successful startups emerging from a particular accelerator are. To obtain the data over time, we will need to fill out the cohort date information column in our cohort data, which will require the help of either Crunchbase or the Wayback machine for older accelerators. In ranking the accelerators across regions, we can also track industry-specific hotspots for accelerators such as medicine in Memphis or technology in San Francisco.<br />
<br />
To complete the report, we need to fill information in:<br />
*Industry and focus<br />
*Location<br />
*Name, description<br />
*Matched VC data<br />
*Founder information (maybe)<br />
<br />
=Overview=<br />
This project is developing broad and near-population data on accelerators and their cohort companies. The objective is to identify which cohorts of which accelerators a cohort company was trained in, obtain details of the accelerators, and obtain details of the cohort companies, including information about any venture capital investment that the cohort company might have received and any IPO or acquisition the company may have experienced.<br />
<br />
The primary use of this data is for an academic paper detailed on the [[Matching Entrepreneurs to Accelerators and VCs (Academic Paper)]] page. <br />
<br />
However, this project can also provide useful data to other academic papers ([[Urban Start-up Agglomeration]], [[Hubs (Academic Paper)]], and [[Hubs Scorecard (Academic Paper)]]), projects ([[Houston Entrepreneurship]]) and blog posts (under the [[Emerging Ecosystems]] umbrella project).<br />
<br />
This project needs the results of the [[Industry Classifier]], [[Whois Parser]], and other tools.<br />
<br />
=Current Project Write-Up=<br />
<br />
==Things To Do==<br />
*Obtain all URLs for accelerators in order to run through the Wayback Machine to find out when they started.<br />
*Match Crunchbase Data with our Accelerator List to see if they have any accelerators that we do not.<br />
*Obtain an example of accelerator that started early and has multiple companies but does not separate them into cohorts and figure out a way to determine which companies went through each cohort.<br />
<br />
==What Each File in the "Accelerator" Folder on the RDP Contains==<br />
*"Accelerator List Sources" (Folder) - This folder contains most of the sources that we pulled accelerator names from at the very beginning of the project.<br />
*"Code+Final_Data" (Folder) - This folder contains Peter's code for pulling the data from the text files in the "Data" folder.<br />
*"Crunchbase Snapshot" (Folder) - This folder contains the data we obtained from Crunchbase. There is a massive amount of data which we will need to sort through to find useful information and hopefully match that data with our current cohort data.<br />
*"Data" (Folder) - This folder contains all of our data on accelerators including cohort information and the html files of each cohort page. I would estimate that it is about 95% clean currently.<br />
*"Data - Copy" (Folder) - This is just a copy of our current "Data" folder.<br />
*"Data_Copy" (Folder) - This is a copy of our original "Data" folder before we did any manual cleaning.<br />
*"Enclosing_Circle" (Folder) - This folder seems to contain some data on VC but I'm not sure how it pertains to the Accelerator project.<br />
*"F6S Accelerator HTMLs" (Folder) - This folder contains the HTML pages of all the pages on the F6S website. We used it to add more potential accelerators to our list.<br />
*"Google_SiteSearch" (Folder) - This folder contains Python code for Google searches.<br />
*"Industry_Classifier" (Folder) - This folder seems to contain Python code but I'm not sure what for.<br />
*"Matcher" (Folder) - This folder contains the Matcher.<br />
*"Python WebCrawler" (Folder) - This folder contains code that is a work in progress for pulling descriptions from accelerator websites. It is Jeemin's project.<br />
*"Cleaned Cohort Data Copy" (Excel File) - This file contains a copy of our cleaned cohort data.<br />
*"Cleaned Cohort Data" (Excel File) - This file contains the most current, completely cleaned data on cohort company information.<br />
*"NormalizeFixedWidth" (PL File) - This is the normalizer.<br />
*"PortCoNames" (TXT File) - This file contains all of the names of the cohort companies as well as the accelerator they went through.<br />
*"VC Data" (Excel File) - This file contains all of the names of the companies that have ever received VC funding.<br />
*"VC_Data" (TXT File) - This file contains that non-normalized data of all of the VC information.<br />
*"VC_Data_Names" (TXT File) - This file contains all of the names of companies that have received VC funding.<br />
*"VC_Data_Names_Matched_PortCoNames" (Excel File) - This file contains all of the cohort companies that have also received VC funding. Still needs to be sorted through.<br />
<br />
==Process==<br />
After accumulating the massive amount of data on accelerators, their cohorts, and their html files, we began cleaning those text files, which are located in the "Data" folder within "Accelerators". After going through the first round of cleaning, we ran a code through the cohort data which put all of that information into an Excel document called "Cleaned Cohort Data". There were still some mistakes in the cohort information unfortunately, which we fixed within the Excel file itself. Therefore, there are some text files within the "Data" folder that do not match with the "Cleaned Cohort Data" file. If we were to run the cohort code through the "Data" folder, we would get something that does not match with the "Cleaned Cohort Data" file, which is problematic. The solution to this (other than manually cleaning the text files again) would be to write a code from the "Cleaned Cohort Data" file which would allow us to clean the data in the "Data" folder through the format of the Excel file. We have also matched all of the cohort companies with our list of all companies that have received VC funding.<br />
<br />
=Current To Do=<br />
<br />
#Work on the [[Crunchbase 2013 Snapshot]]<br />
#Match cohort companies to VC-backed portfolio companies<br />
#Refine our data to work out which cohort each cohort company was a member of, cohort start dates and locations, etc.<br />
#Make a list of top accelerator lists (e.g., http://tech.co/top-startup-accelerators-ranked-2012-08) and check that we have those accelerators<br />
<br />
=End of Semester Notes=<br />
<br />
*We have compiled a very long list of accelerators from many different databases. For the past couple of weeks, everyone in the center has been going through this list, 20 at a time, classifying each one as an accelerator or not an accelerator, and then proceeding to gather data on the accelerator using the process outlined below. This process went very smoothly. We have successfully gone through about 80% of the list. We are still missing information on the last hundred or so names. All of the collected data is located on the RDP, within the "Accelerators" folder under "Data" or on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ikuxYwp9JIRrjz4qQcbdwTpbHOne-q2PterYTjzofjw/edit?ts=5aa2f1f9#gid=1132417337 "Accelerator Master Variable List" Google sheet].<br />
*We have listed all of the startups from the accelerators that have break out cohorts on their website on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ikuxYwp9JIRrjz4qQcbdwTpbHOne-q2PterYTjzofjw/edit?ts=5aa2f1f9#gid=1132417337 "Accelerator Master Variable List" Google sheet]. This contains the following information in the "Cohort List (new)" sheet: accelerator name, year, cohort name, company name, description, founders, category/sector, and location. <br />
*Next steps include going through the demo day pages that have been downloaded and writing notes on the different types if possible (see [[Demo Day Page Google Classifier]]).<br />
<br />
=Data Collection Notes=<br />
<br />
==MATCHING==<br />
<br />
The files we used to match are located in the E drive. We used the matcher to match our portfolio company names from the cohort file located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators. <br />
*The files used to matching are located E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Matcher<br />
*Portco is the name of the companies pulled from the cohort file<br />
*AccCo includes both the cohort company name, along with the name of the accelerator itself<br />
*In the matcher, the inputs are the PortCo names, as well as the VC data from our pull in SDC<br />
*The outputs include the AccCo_VC data located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators which give a lot of information on the matches, including:<br />
:*name of the match itself<br />
:*number of investments<br />
:*dates that the company received its investments<br />
<br />
==SDC Pull==<br />
<br />
We accessed SDC platinum and pulled information on round-based funding that all registered companies received from between the years 1999 to 2017.<br />
<br />
The receipt is as follows:<br />

==3 files==<br />
<br />
For each accelerator in the list, put files in E:\Projects\Accelerators\Data<br />
*AcceleratorName.txt - copy and paste the variables below into a (tab-delimited) txt file and complete<br />
*AcceleratorName.cohort - your cohort text file (see below)<br />
*AcceleratorName.html (possibly automatically with a folder too) - save a copy of the html of the cohort page<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Try to get '''Name, Score, Flag, Cohort URL and Address''' for all. ONLY GRAB OTHER VARIABLES IF EASY. Just leave things blank if you can't find them quickly.<br />
<br />
'''If the score is 0, or the flag is S, I, A, or F just stop''' - don't bother downloading a cohort list, saving an HTML file, etc. If possible, do stick a very brief description of the problem in the notes field.<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
*Score: is 0-1 where 0 is definitely not an accelerator, 1 is definitely an accelerator<br />
*Flag: (leave blank if not needed), if multiple then separate by comma<br />
**S for social entrep<br />
**I for incubator<br />
**A for an angel group<br />
**F is for foreign<br />
**C for in coworking space/hub/etc<br />
**V for if part of venture fund<br />
**D is for Dead<br />
*Put just the root URL in Cohort URL if there isn't a Cohort page<br />
*Duration: in wks (months x 4.33 and round)<br />
*Vintage is year of first cohort if possible<br />
*Industry is industry focus but only if clear focus<br />
*Equity is a number (don't put %) or Y/N<br />
*Notes is only there if need it. Particularly try to use this field to note discards.<br />
<br />
==.cohort files==<br />
<br />
Your .cohort files must:<br />
*Be tab delimited txt<br />
*Have a header<br />
*The first column must be the portfolio company name<br />
*Grab as many columns as you can easily (and name them)<br />
<br />
==Standardized format for text files==<br />
<br />
Information Text file<br />
*1 tab only after each category<br />
*No spaces after commas for flags or industry<br />
*For duration put only a number in weeks but do not write "weeks"<br />
*Equity is either only a number (no percent sign) or a Y/N<br />
<br />
<br />
Cohort Text file<br />
*1 tab between each column<br />
*Titles of each column on top<br />
*Make a new category for "Cohort Number" and write either "1 2 3 4 etc."<br />

=Project Summary=<br />
This project will be used to determine which accelerators are the most effective at churning out successful startups, as well as what characteristics are exhibited by these accelerators. First, we need to gather as much data as we can about as many accelerators as we can in order to look at factors that differentiate successful vs. unsuccessful ventures. Next, we need to create a web crawling program which will gather information about accelerators across the world by accessing their websites and extracting information. I believe that our overall goal with this research project is to gain insight into the methods of successful accelerators, as well as to find out what exactly differentiates very successful accelerators from dead accelerators.<br />

<br />
=Sources=<br />
<br />
Summary: These are sources obtained from [[List of Accelerators]], Crunchbase, and other Google searches. We will evaluate these sources by looking at the number of accelerators they supply (as most of them are lists) and then also taking a look at the type of information they provide about each accelerator. Key data points are cohort-related data, startup-related data, and logistics of the accelerator. Better sources supply more information that the URL alone.<br />

Other ways used to find Accelerators (listed below "List of Sources Obtained from Various Google Searches"):<br />
*Type in generic location + "accelerators" (e.g. Houston Accelerators)<br />
:*Looked at roughly the first 20 results<br />
:*Used three locations as examples of accelerators that pop up<br />
*Type in a specific state + "accelerator" + "list" (e.g. Texas accelerator list) to search for more relevant lists<br />
:*Once again, looked at roughly the first 20 results<br />
*Crunchbase has its own webpage with instructions for how we retrieve the data<br />
<br />
=Source Evaluations=<br />
<br />
Summary: These evaluations couple with each of the sources above. The evaluations provide instructions for obtaining the information listed, as well as a general review of how useful the data seems. The review serves to determine whether a crawler would be suitable for obtaining information from the source autonomously.<br />
<br />
==SOURCE: Crunchbase==<br />
*All of the information for the Crunchbase documentation is located in the page [[Crunchbase 2013 Snapshot]] webpage, along with the documentation for how we determined the accelerator information.<br />
<br />
==Source: http://www.acceleratorinfo.com/see-all.html==<br />
#Opened source website<br />
#Copied Information under "All Accelerator Programs" to TextPad, already sorted. Returned 190 results<br />
#Each link on parent list leads to individual '''home page url''' of accelerator<br />
:*Used sample size of 20 links, determined 16 to be accelerators, 2 to be incubators, 2 to be inactive or broken links<br />
:*Many accelerators do not include founding date, most recent accelerators from around 2013-2014 (as determined from home page)<br />
===Review===<br />
*Reliable source for specific URLs to older accelerators, not very helpful for more specific information.<br />
*Web crawling seems improbable because information is not readily available from source. Can potentially mine staff information or contact information from associated "about" page in the home url<br />

===Review===<br />
*Reliable source for accelerators, includes list of accelerators both dead and active, as well as their associated start-ups<br />
*Web crawling potential is promising; startup table is located within the source for each webpage. Can also mine any category from the accelerator table<br />
*Overall very extensive data for accelerators that are included on the list, but after cross-referencing from other sources shows that seed-db is lacking many newer accelerators; list is not all-inclusive.<br />
*Includes regional distributions for accelerator groups as well. For example, rather than just "Techstars", the group is broken into Austin, Berlin, Boston, Boulder, etc.<br />
<br />
==Source: http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators==<br />
:Very similar to "http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators/all", but contains large regional accelerators as groups, rather than individual accelerators. For example, Techstars appears only once.<br />
#Copied "Seed Accelerators" table to TextPad, data sorted itself into lines. Returned 239 results.<br />
#Clicking on the accelerator name itself links to a page with all of its associated startups, up until 6/2016 cohort<br />
::*Startup table includes same information as previous source, "http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators/all". However, accelerators spanning across multiple regions have their startups located under one category on this webpage.<br />
:On original seed-db webpage, each accelerator has a link to its associated home page url<br />

#On the webpage, set "Type" to "Accelerator/Program", set "Location" to "North America", and set "Invest in Country" to "United States" to return results<br />
#Highlighted results and scrolled down until all results found; copied results to TextPad<br />
#In TextPad, sorted out lines with "by", as well as miscellaneous categories such as dates and dollar signs through Regular Expressions<br />
#Using the "More Info" line which held constant through the entire list, assigned a sequential number to the line (in order to determine the number of results)<br />
::*Obtained a grand total of 1467 results from the list<br />
::*Along with the name of the program/accelerator, the data included:<br />
::#Dollar value per team<br />
::#Equity<br />
::#Application Site<br />
::#Accelerator URL<br />
::*Many entries are not accelerators, from a quick glance through the results, there were various conferences, 3-5 days events, and written literature pertaining to accelerators as well<br />
::*From a sample size of the first 30 entries, determined 10 to be valid accelerators, 3 incubators, 6 conferences/weekends, and the rest to be miscellaneous entries such as startup events or "studios" (perhaps useful but not relevant to search)<br />
::*As we go down the list, the number of accelerators proportionately decreases. Can comfortably say that overall accelerator turnout from this website is much less than 33%, probably closer to 10-15%.<br />
===Review===<br />
*Potentially useful website if crawler could remove the clutter and target solely the accelerators; very useful for identifying new accelerators since data automatically sorted by date and location.<br />
*Large list of sources includes many irrelevant results, such as conferences or weekends which are difficult to identify. The name of the sorting category itself, "Accelerator/Program" suggests that many of the results fall under the "Program" section rather than being valid accelerators.<br />
*Potential site for identifying accelerators, but limited by in-site sorting; useful for URL and perhaps equity, but not very detailed information relating to the accelerator/program.<br />

===Review===<br />
*Website provides its own evaluation of an accelerator's success based on various factors and provides data for larger trends.<br />
*Usefulness is questionable because website does not provide much except the URL, and all of the entries are based on success in 2015.<br />
*Other interesting data within website such as "Hot Markets", investment breakdowns by state, etc. All of this data is also limited to 2015.<br />

===Review===<br />
*Although the guide is dated, useful for identifying strong accelerator programs in Boston<br />
*Limitation: only focuses on Boston, but the description is helpful in identifying the role of the accelerator<br />
*Limited information on accelerator, not very useful by itself without information from the accelerator URL<br />

*Solid list for corporate accelerators and also includes a variety of information about the accelerator, the cohorts, etc. Some of the entries are international accelerators however so need to filter them out<br />
*Only limited to 72 accelerators from major companies<br />

#Since we already looked at the first listed source (seed-db), I clicked on the second link "(by Robert Shedd) http://blog.shedd.us/321987608/" which took me to a page headed "Help for Startups! – A semi-complete list of startup accelerator programs" created by a blogger, Robert Shedd<br />
#List included 102 entries by the blogger, each of which do look like an accelerator<br />
::*Upon immediate overview, noticed many results from previous sources were missing. Immediately noticed lack of "OwlSpark", the accelerator from Rice.<br />
::*Shedd only offers us the accelerator name plus its URL<br />
===Review===<br />
*Nice list to cross-reference with other sources but does not offer much new insight compared to more powerful engines such as seed-db\<br />
<br />
=List of Sources Obtained from Various Google Searches=<br />
<br />
Summary: These accelerators are taken from a specific Google search rather than a list. The idea is to compile a list of Google searches that return relevant results of accelerators. This will aid in the creation of a future web crawler.<br />

===Review===<br />
*Some locations return more viable results for a similar sample size. For example, New York returned 9 valid accelerators, whereas Los Angeles and Houston both returned 5 actual accelerators out of the first 20 results: an 80% difference. Some optimization may come from identifying which locations return more accelerators upon searching.<br />

Notes:<br />
*Seed-DB appears for almost all of the search results<br />
*Acceleratorinfo appears for most of the search results<br />
*There are multiple cumulative reports of incubators per location, but not for accelerators<br />
*Most regionalized accelerator lists deal with either an article or a ranking of a particular amount of accelerators in the area<br />
*Many results returned nationally ranked lists of accelerators, such as the Forbes list of "Top Accelerators" or something along the lines of "Best Accelerators in the US". The connection is that perhaps one accelerator mentioned on the list may be located within the searched state.<br />
*There are also a few results for actual particle accelerators that must be sorted out (i.e. superconducting super collider)<br />

=Individual Accelerator Evaluations=<br />
Summary: The purpose of this section is to create instructions for each accelerator on how to find cohort information from their URLs. Along with specific instructions for obtaining the cohorts for each accelerator chosen, there should be a list of easy-to-obtain and relevant statistics regarding the accelerator, such as information about its team, location, etc. The variable statistics list is cumulative, whereas the cohort directions are unique per the accelerator.<br />

==Accelerator: Blue Startups (http://bluestartups.com/)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Navigated to "Track Record" page under the "Home" tab; found total number of graduated cohorts to be 7<br />
#Navigated to "Portfolio" tab. Tab includes list of all seven graduated cohorts along with companies emerging from each one. Each cohort is listed under a separate page (ex. "Cohort 1", "Cohort 2", etc) and at the bottom of each cohort page, there is a link to the other 6. Each company has a short description along with its URL.<br />
#An "Alumni News" page at the bottom of "Portfolio" includes articles pertinent to graduated startups.<br />
#Unfortunately does not include the date and year of each cohort class, but perhaps could cross-reference with other sources.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Launchpad LA (http://launchpad.la/)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Navigated to "Companies" in the top of the homepage<br />
#"Companies" returns all companies backed by Launchpad LA based on their class year and number (cohort)<br />
#:*Also sorted by active startups vs. inactive startups<br />
#At the bottom of the "Companies" tab, there is a statistical layout returning values for the number of companies started by Launchpad during its time as an accelerator (2012-present), as well as the total funding funneled into the accelerator.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Y Combinator (http://www.ycombinator.com)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Scrolled down on the home page and clicked on a link entitled "See all companies".<br />
#Navigated to a drop down menu named "All Batches", and clicked on it to expand the list.<br />
#List is made up of dates ranging from 2005-2016, and these dates return lists of launched companies including most but not all of their URL's, as well as their launch year.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Flashpoint (http://flashpoint.gatech.edu/)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#On upper right corner after animation, there is a tab sign which lets you navigate to a page labeled "Teams"<br />
#The "Team" page has each batch of companies emerging from Georgia Tech, although it does not include the dates or cohorts of these companies. For example, "Batch 1" at the top of the page just lists the companies in the batch without URLs or any additional information.<br />
#On the "Application" page on the tab near the top, there is information regarding Batch 7, which begins early 2017. Suggests that batch 6 either ended spring 2016 or fall 2016.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Prosper Women Entrepreneurs (http://www.prosperstl.com)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Navigated to "Accelerator" tab and clicked "Companies" when prompted with the drop down menu.<br />
#This tab returned all of the launched company logos which then redirected to the company's home page when clicked.<br />
#No other relevant form of information such as date launched or cohort was included on this page.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Axel Springer Plug and Play(http://www.axelspringerplugandplay.com/)==<br />
Finding the cohort:<br />
#Clicked on the "Companies" tab on the home page and was directed to the middle of the page which included a short list of current companies.<br />
#Clicked on the "All Companies" link which returned a page filled with startup logos and brief descriptions of those startups. When clicked, each logo serves to redirect to that startup's home page.<br />
#Companies were not sorted by cohort or in any other relevant way.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Techstars (http://www.techstars.com)==<br />
Finding the cohorts:<br />
#Navigated to the Accelerators tabs and clicked "Companies" on the drop down menu.<br />
#Firstly, this returns a table comprised of a long list of different classes from different areas separated by years.<br />
#Upon scrolling down further, each of these classes is broken down by the startups that graduated from them. It also includes information such as how much was invested in each startup, as well as whether or not the startup was acquired, is active, or failed.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Startmate (http://www.startmate.com.au)==<br />
Finding the cohorts:<br />
#Navigated to the "Startups" tab, which returned a page of all startups that have graduated from Startmate.<br />
#Startups are separated by year of graduation, and each company is linked on this page.<br />
#It appears as if each year, 1 cohort is taken through the accelerator.<br />
<br />
==Accelerator: Capital Factory (https://capitalfactory.com/accelerate/)==<br />
Finding the cohorts:<br />
#Navigated to the startups tab, which returned a long list of companies that were accelerated by Capital Factory.<br />

==Variables which Distinguish Accelerator Websites==<br />
*The word "Accelerator"<br />
**This word appears at least one time on the home page of the vast majority of accelerator websites. The word "Accelerator" appears either as a link to another page on the website or in a title on the homepage of the website. Not many other websites contain this word on their homepage, especially not if one Googles something generic such as "Accelerators in the US".<br />
<br />
*Fixed Term<br />
**Accelerators normally work with their cohorts for 3 months. This is a major factor which differentiates between an accelerator and any other member of a startup ecosystem. If on their website they mention either "3 months" or "12 weeks", it is extremely likely that the website belongs to an accelerator.<br />
<br />
*Cohorts, Portfolio, Class, or Companies<br />
**This is a potential variable that could link the websites of many different accelerators. The problem with the word "portfolio" is also used by numerous venture capital firms, which could potentially cause complications when attempting to pull only the sites of accelerators from a Google search. The word "cohort", however, would have an extremely high probability of identifying the website as belonging to an accelerator. The words "class" and "companies" are promising but do not offer certainty.<br />
<br />
*Equity, Investment<br />
**Although by itself, equity does not mean much, when paired with any of these other terms, it could potentially point to an accelerator. Most accelerators take equity in the form of common stock (6-8%), or they will ask for some alternate form of stake in the company.<br />
<br />
*Education and Mentorship<br />
**Accelerators differ from incubators and angel investors in that they emphasize the education of the potential startup. They offer advice and intense mentorship from more experienced entrepreneurs within their staff, as well as many networking opportunities with the outside world. This variable is more difficult to find on the website of the accelerator, but I believe that if the website includes numerous keywords such as "education", "mentorship", or "networking opportunities", it would be somewhat safe to assume that the website is owned by an accelerator.<br />
<br />
*Demo Day<br />
**This variable does not have tremendous potential in terms of crawling websites, but I feel that it is worth mentioning. Most accelerators "graduate" their cohorts with a demo day, which is a day when the startups present their company to potential investors. If the website contains the words "demo day", which is fairly uncommon, it could be a good source of accelerator identification.<br />
<br />
A combination of any of these variables would certainly identify the current website as belonging to an accelerator.<br />
<br />
==Comprehensive List of Accelerators==<br />
<br />
All text files saved in "Accelerators" project on the McNair RPD. <br />
<br />
*Acc.Info: 190<br />
*SeedDB: 240<br />
*SARP: 59<br />
*Corp: 79<br />
*Total: 568 results<br />
<br />
After removing duplicates and locations: 363 results<br />
<br />
Doesn't count f6s, which returns 1170 results, roughly only 300 of which were accelerators. We created a crawler to sift through the webpages and parse HTML so we could identify the accelerators. Program and HTML saved on the Desktop.<br />
<br />
==Randomly Chosen Accelerators==<br />
*TLabs<br />
*BetaSpring<br />
*The Unilever Foundry<br />
*AIA Accelerator<br />
*R/GA Accelerator<br />
*Zeroto510<br />
*Hub:raum<br />
*Orange Fab<br />
*Furnace<br />
*Launch Chapel Hill<br />
<br />
===Determining whether or not these are accelerators===<br />
Googled name of Accelerator and clicked on the first link<br />
<br />
Looked for Variables which Distinguish Accelerator Websites<br />
*TLabs: Homepage states: "Leading Indian Tech Accelerator"; TLabs is an accelerator, but it is located in India.<br />
*Betaspring: Under the "About Betaspring" tab, it states that "Betaspring was among the first ten startup accelerators to launch worldwide".<br />
*The Unilever Foundry: Does not claim to be an accelerator, nor does it have information on the website about cohorts. This name was pulled from the source Corporate Accelerators.<br />
*AIA Accelerator: The word "accelerator" is included in the name. Under the "Overview" tab, it states that startups have received mentorship.<br />
*R/GA Accelerator: Under the "Overview" tab it states that the "R/GA Accelerator is designed for startups and... it is a three month, immersive, mentorship driven program".<br />
*Zeroto510: Website contains a "Portfolio Companies" tab which divides up the companies into cohorts. This identifies Zeroto510 as an accelerator.<br />
*Hub:raum: Offers accelerator and incubator programs; however, none are located in North America.<br />
*Orange Fab: States on the main page that "We're a 3-month accelerator program".<br />
*Furnace: "About" tab states that Furnace is "an innovative startup accelerator designed to form, incubate, and launch new companies". Concludes with a Demo Day<br />
*Launch Chapel Hill: Homepage states that they are "a startup accelerator". Also included on the homepage is a line that states "Applications for Cohort 7 are now open". <br />
<br />
7/10 are accelerators located in the US.<br />
<br />
2/10 are accelerators not located in the US.<br />
<br />
1/10 is not an accelerator.<br />
<br />
===Steps for Extracting Cohort Information===<br />
*TLabs: Clicked on the "Startup" tab and located a drop down menu entitled "Showing Startups from:". This menu separates startups into Batches ranging from 1-9. These batches are cohorts.<br />
*Betaspring: This website does not have a "Companies" or "Startups" tab. I clicked on their "Who" tab and noticed that within this section were two links called "Our portfolio" and "Our companies" which both linked to the same place. This place contained a list of the startups that Betaspring has funded, as well as links to each of the startup websites. The list was not separated into cohorts.<br />
*The Unilever Foundry: Does not have a "Startups" or "Companies" link on the website.<br />
*AIA Accelerator: Clicked on the "Startups" tab which returned a page with 5 companies and a bit of information on each of these companies. Also included the URL to each startup. However, the companies were not separated into cohorts, probably because there are so few of them.<br />
*R/GA Accelerator: Clicked on the "Alumni" tab and navigated down the webpage. Startups are separated by class, which means cohort in this case. Startup info contains link to demo day presentation as well as the startup url.<br />
*Zeroto510: Hovered over the "About Us" drop down menu and clicked on the "Portfolio Companies" link. Startups are separated by cohort, one for each year, starting from 2013. <br />
*Hub:raum: Clicked on the "Portfolio" tab. Directed to a page with many names of startups, as well as a brief description of what their company is about. Also includes a link to each startup's website. Startups are not separated into cohorts, but rather by investment by location, current participants, and alumni.<br />
*Orange Fab: Clicked on the "Startups" tab and was directed to a different page. Startups are not only separated into cohorts named "Seasons", but they are also separated by industry.<br />
*Furnace: Clicked on "Portfolio" tab, but unfortunately the website is broken and it returned an error in code.<br />
*Launch Chapel Hill: Clicked on the "Ventures" tab and was directed to a page in which all startups were separated into cohorts, and a brief description of the startup was provided underneath their logo.<br />

=Code=<br />
<br />
The directory for all data related to this project is located in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators<br />
<br />
<br />
==F6S Web Crawler==<br />
<br />
This is a python script using the selenium library that retrieves the html content of each page on F6S's North American Accelerator search results. The script is located in:<br />
<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs <br />
<br />
The script is titled f6s_crawler_gentle.py<br />
<br />
When run, the script visits the F6S search page for North American Accelerator's and begins retrieving the HTML of each page in that search list. <br />
NOTE: Timing must be spaced out between all interactions with the browser. F6S has Captcha, and the program will fail if the site receives too many hit requests, or has any inkling that it is being probed by a bot.<br />
<br />
The Accelerator HTML files are stored in: <br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs\Accelerator_HTML_files<br />
<br />
The Accelerator HTML files stored as text files are stored in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs\Accelerator_HTML_files_text<br />
<br />
==F6S Parser==<br />
The next step is to take the HTML files retrieved by the crawler and to parse them for necessary information. This parser should also determine whether or not the site is an accelerator site. <br />
<br />
The code for the parser is located in <br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs<br />
<br />
It is titled f6s_parser.py<br />
<br />
To run the code, open the file in Komodo and press play. <br />
If running from the command line, change to the correct directory and run the following comand:<br />
python f6s_parser.py<br />
<br />
The list of accelerators that passed through the parser is in the same directory:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\F6S Accelerator HTMLs<br />
<br />
The tab delimited text file is named AcceleratorList.<br />
The file contains the names of the accelerators that had the keywords listed in the file. Also, the file contains the run dates and location of the accelerator if it was listed on the f6s page.<br />
<br />
<br />
==F6S API==<br />
F6S has an API, but we have had no success getting a key to the API. The link to get a key to the API is on [https://www.f6s.com/developers/apis/deal-feed this page].<br />
<br />
I (Peter) have emailed F6S to ask for a key directly at support@f6s.com. As of the end of the Fall 2016 Semester, they have not responded.<br />
<br />
FUN FACT (MASS-RENAME FILES USING WINDOWS POWER SHELL):<br />
<br />
The following command allowed me to append ".txt" to all files in a folder once in the proper directory:<br />
Get-ChildItem * | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name + '.txt'}<br />
<br />
To change file formats, Microsoft suggests:<br />
Get-ChildItem *.txt | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name -Replace '\.txt', '.log'}<br />
<br />
==Final Data==<br />
The Parser for parsing the text files of accelerator data is located in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data<br />
<br />
The Parser for parsing the cohort files of accelerator data is also located in:<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data<br />
<br />
This folder contains the Python parsers. The Final_data folder contains the tab-delimited text files of parsed data. final_accelerator_data.txt contains the generalized data saved in .txt files and final_cohort_data.txt contains the cohort data saved in .cohort.txt files.<br />
<br />
All the files entitled accelerator_data are subsets of the final_accelerator_data.txt file, but each file contains only the accelerators that matched to the flag specified in the file title.<br />
<br />
find_headers .py finds a set of the headers for all the cohort files from the seed list project.<br />
<br />
==Google SiteSearch==<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Google_SiteSearch<br />
This folder contains code for a google search parser. The script sitesearch.py will search for a queried company and return a likely web address for that company.<br />
<br />
==Way Back Machine Parser==<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data\wayback_machine.py<br />
This script takes URLs and returns a timestamp for the oldest documented webpage under that URL courtesy of the Way Back Machine Archive.<br />
<br />
==Process Locations==<br />
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data\process_locations.py<br />
This script takes a physical address and converts it into latitude and longitude coordinates. Should be used in conjunction with the Enclosing Circle program to find the concentration of accelerators.<br />

===Automating the Process of Obtaining Cohorts===<br />
*Automating this process would save a lot of time and really progress the project.<br />
<br />
===Obtaining More Details on Accelerators===<br />
<br />
*Having the kind of thorough information on industry, companies, funding, location, exits, mentors, leadership, that we got for the GAN companies would be fantastic.<br />

==Latest Progress==<br />
The PDF-to-Text converter, the key terms finder, and phrase extraction scripts all work well and have been tested. The Google Scholar Web Crawler is being worked on by Christy Warden, current status unknown.<br />
<br />
192 text versions of papers have been assembled in "Candidate Papers by LB." These were used as a test set for developing an analysis protocol for the entire paper. Analysis protocol has been developed that involves taking the counts of each term by topic per paper to assign each paper 1-4 topics. The process also counts the number of key terms in each paper for relevance, the number of modern terms, the year of the paper, the number of cost terms, the area of the paper, and the mentions of particular authors. All of this analysis is then dumped into artifacts. Analysis protocol is currently hard coded. Once a set list of terms has been established, a soft-coded version should be able to be developed [in progress].<br />
<br />
Larger test set desired to be analyzed and soft-coded on. <br />

=The Patent Thicket Literature Review Coding Rules=<br />
<br />
This collection of terms, definitions, key words have been organized and assigned shorthand codes to identify them. See below:<br />
<br />
==Core Terms==<br />
<br />
'''Saturated Invention Spaces - (SIS)'''<br />
As first defined by Teece: when a single firm, or a small number of firms, successfully patents an entire technological area. (p.15)<br />
<br />
'''Example of:''' <br />
''imperfect competition''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''cluster''<br />
''coherent groups''<br />
''adjacent''<br />
''saturated''<br />

<br />
'''Diversely-held Complimentary Inputs - (DHCI)'''<br />
1) products require complementary patented inputs; 2) these inputs are diversely-held (i.e. held by N patent-holders); and 3) patent-holders set their license prices independently. (Shapiro, pg.17) <br />
<br />
'''Example of:'''<br />
''lack of coordination of licensing prices''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''diversely-held''<br />
''complementary inputs''<br />

<br />
'''Overlapping Patents - (OP)'''<br />
Second most common foundation of a thicket. Patents can overlap vertically or horizontally. Horizontal likely due to poorly defined rights.<br />

'''Look for:'''<br />
''patent overlap''<br />
''overlap''<br />
''overlapping claims''<br />

'''Frequent Author(s): Burk & Lemley 2003, Regibeau & Rockett 2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Gaming the Patent System - (GPS)'''<br />
Patent applicants partake in inappropriate action - such as applying for obvious or non-novel patents. Puts undue burden on the patent office and crates neg. externalities, such as imposing additional costs on genuine inventors.<br />

'''Example of:'''<br />
''Moral Hazard''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''spurious patents''<br />
''dubious''<br />

<br />
==Modern Terms==<br />
'''Transaction Costs - (TC)'''<br />
All fees associated with patenting: applications, prosecution costs, renewal maintenance. Should de-incentivize low value patents, but may also de-incentivize invention by small firms.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''prosecution costs''<br />
''court fees''<br />
''bargaining costs''<br />
''coordinating costs''<br />
''maintenance fees''<br />
''licensing fees''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
''Coase''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley Shapiro 2006, Callaway 2008, Farrell 2009, Cockburn & MacGarvie 2009/2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Probabilistic Patents - (PP)'''<br />
Patents are inherently probabilistic b/c they do not guarantee monopoly rights over new art. Rather patents suggest a greater likelihood to prevail in court should there be litigation. They cannot provide perfect protection from infringement or obstruct the filing of invalid patents. <br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''imperfectly defined property rights''<br />
''probabilistic''<br />
''uncertain''<br />
''infringement''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley & Shapiro 2005/2006, Bessen 2003'''<br />
<br />
'''Unspecified / Extended Use - (UnEx)'''<br />
Patents issued for reason/utility unknown. Also applies to patents issued for discreet, inventive steps that do not have stand-alone commercial value.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''ever-greening''<br />
''submarine patents''<br />
''viagra''<br />
''expected returns''<br />
''commercialization opportunities''<br />
''spurious patents''<br />
''gaming the patent system''<br />
''patent portfolios''<br />
''stand-alone commercial value''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Kiley, Jacob'''<br />
<br />
'''Search Costs - (SC)'''<br />
All costs associated with finding preexisting patents to avoid infringement and verify novelty. This is particularly expensive for smaller firms lacking robust search capabilities.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''transaction costs''<br />
''fees''<br />
''Coase''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
''Leahy-Smith''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Wang 2010, Lemley Shapiro 2006, Callaway 2008, Farrell 2009, Cockburn & MacGarvie 2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Patent Hold-up - (PH)'''<br />
The patentees ability to extract higher license fees after the infringer has sunk costs implementing the patented technology. Had the infringer sought licensing prior to utilization, license fees are assumed to be lower. This is the opposite of reverse patent hold-up, which is when the infringer uses the invention and waits to get sued whilst presuming that litigation will be slow, uncertain, and costly for the patentee.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''hold-up''<br />
''Williamson's''<br />
''FRAND''<br />
''SEP''<br />
''license fee''<br />

'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley, Shapiro, Farrell, Langus, Epstein, Williamson, Hayes, Sullivan, FTC'''<br />
<br />
'''Strategic Patents - (SP)'''<br />
Often used to describe accumulating many patents merely to control design freedom. In this case, patents are commonly used as bargaining chips rather than reflecting intrinsic value. Largely welfare neutral, however it can contribute to transaction and search costs.<br />
<br />
'''Look for'''<br />
''accumulating patents''<br />
''patent portfolio''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Hall & Ziedonis'''<br />
<br />
'''Hold-out - (HO)'''<br />
Can occur in situations of DHCI when a "hold-out" player resists participating in a multilateral agreement across different parties. The nonparticipating hold-out player takes advantage of their position to extract higher rents from licensees because self-interest and social welfare are not aligned.<br />
*Reverse patent hold-up is sometimes called “hold-out” by legal practitioners.<br />
<br />

=The Patent Thicket Literature Review Coding Rules=<br />
<br />
This collection of terms, definitions, key words have been organized and assigned shorthand codes to identify them. See below:<br />
<br />
==Core Terms==<br />
<br />
'''Saturated Invention Spaces - (SIS)'''<br />
As first defined by Teece: when a single firm, or a small number of firms, successfully patents an entire technological area. (p.15)<br />
<br />
'''Example of:''' <br />
''imperfect competition''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''cluster''<br />
''coherent groups''<br />
''adjacent''<br />
''saturated''<br />
''substitutes''<br />
''complements''<br />
''free-ride''<br />
''invent around''<br />
''imperfect competition''<br />
''substitutes''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Teece 1998, Somaya 2003, Hemphill 2003, Hussinger 2006'''<br />
<br />
'''Diversely-held Complimentary Inputs - (DHCI)'''<br />
1) products require complementary patented inputs; 2) these inputs are diversely-held (i.e. held by N patent-holders); and 3) patent-holders set their license prices independently. (Shapiro, pg.17) <br />
<br />
'''Example of:'''<br />
''lack of coordination of licensing prices''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''diversely-held''<br />
''complementary inputs''<br />
''multiple inputs''<br />
''dispersed''<br />
''anticommons''<br />
''tragedy of the anticommons''<br />
''fragmented''<br />
''Cournot problem''<br />
''multiple marginalization''<br />
''FRAND''<br />
''patent pools''<br />
''licensing''<br />
''cross-licensing''<br />
''license''<br />
''standard setting''<br />
''SSO''<br />
''royalty stacking''<br />
''multilateral arrangements''<br />
''bilateral arrangements''<br />
''individual arrangements''<br />
''invent around''<br />
''Mexican Standoff''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
'''Frequent Authors(s): Shapiro 2001, Heller 1997, Heller and Eisenberg 1998, Lemley & Shapiro 2006, Arrow 1973, Mossoff 2009, Lemley 2008, Cheung 1969'''<br />
<br />
'''Overlapping Patents - (OP)'''<br />
Second most common foundation of a thicket. Patents can overlap vertically or horizontally. Horizontal likely due to poorly defined rights.<br />
Refinement patents and research tool patents can result in vertical overlap.<br />
<br />
'''Example of:'''<br />
''Imperfectly defined property rights'''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''patent overlap''<br />
''overlap''<br />
''overlapping claims''<br />
''similar claims''<br />
''simultaneous infringement''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Burk & Lemley 2003, Regibeau & Rockett 2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Gaming the Patent System - (GPS)'''<br />
Patent applicants partake in inappropriate action - such as applying for obvious or non-novel patents. Puts undue burden on the patent office and crates neg. externalities, such as imposing additional costs on genuine inventors.<br />
<br />
'''Example of:'''<br />
''Moral Hazard''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''spurious patents''<br />
''dubious''<br />
''bad''<br />
''likely invalid''<br />
''junk''<br />
''impeding genuine innovators''<br />
''rent-seeking''<br />
''bad faith''<br />
''submarines''<br />
''ever-greening''<br />
''hidden action''<br />
''Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Marshall 1976, Holstrom 1979, Hegde et al. 2009, Rubinfeld & Maness 2004, Jacob 2009, Jaffe & Lerner 2004, Schmalensee 2009, Attaran 2004'''<br />
<br />
==Modern Terms==<br />
'''Transaction Costs - (TC)'''<br />
All fees associated with patenting: applications, prosecution costs, renewal maintenance. Should de-incentivize low value patents, but may also de-incentivize invention by small firms.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''prosecution costs''<br />
''court fees''<br />
''bargaining costs''<br />
''coordinating costs''<br />
''maintenance fees''<br />
''licensing fees''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
''Coase''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley Shapiro 2006, Callaway 2008, Farrell 2009, Cockburn & MacGarvie 2009/2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Probabilistic Patents - (PP)'''<br />
Patents are inherently probabilistic b/c they do not guarantee monopoly rights over new art. Rather patents suggest a greater likelihood to prevail in court should there be litigation. They cannot provide perfect protection from infringement or obstruct the filing of invalid patents. <br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''imperfectly defined property rights''<br />
''probabilistic''<br />
''uncertain''<br />
''infringement''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley & Shapiro 2005/2006, Bessen 2003'''<br />
<br />
'''Unspecified / Extended Use - (UnEx)'''<br />
Patents issued for reason/utility unknown. Also applies to patents issued for discreet, inventive steps that do not have stand-alone commercial value.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''ever-greening''<br />
''submarine patents''<br />
''viagra''<br />
''expected returns''<br />
''commercialization opportunities''<br />
''spurious patents''<br />
''gaming the patent system''<br />
''patent portfolios''<br />
''stand-alone commercial value''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Kiley, Jacob'''<br />
<br />
'''Search Costs - (SC)'''<br />
All costs associated with finding preexisting patents to avoid infringement and verify novelty. This is particularly expensive for smaller firms lacking robust search capabilities.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''transaction costs''<br />
''fees''<br />
''Coase''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
''Leahy-Smith''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Wang 2010, Lemley Shapiro 2006, Callaway 2008, Farrell 2009, Cockburn & MacGarvie 2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Patent Hold-up - (PH)'''<br />
The patentees ability to extract higher license fees after the infringer has sunk costs implementing the patented technology. Had the infringer sought licensing prior to utilization, license fees are assumed to be lower. This is the opposite of reverse patent hold-up, which is when the infringer uses the invention and waits to get sued whilst presuming that litigation will be slow, uncertain, and costly for the patentee.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''hold-up''<br />
''Williamson's''<br />
''FRAND''<br />
''SEP''<br />
''license fee''<br />
''guile''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley, Shapiro, Farrell, Langus, Epstein, Williamson, Hayes, Sullivan, FTC'''<br />
<br />
'''Strategic Patents - (SP)'''<br />
Often used to describe accumulating many patents merely to control design freedom. In this case, patents are commonly used as bargaining chips rather than reflecting intrinsic value. Largely welfare neutral, however it can contribute to transaction and search costs.<br />
<br />
'''Look for'''<br />
''accumulating patents''<br />
''patent portfolio''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Hall & Ziedonis'''<br />
<br />
'''Hold-out - (HO)'''<br />
Can occur in situations of DHCI when a "hold-out" player resists participating in a multilateral agreement across different parties. The nonparticipating hold-out player takes advantage of their position to extract higher rents from licensees because self-interest and social welfare are not aligned.<br />
*Reverse patent hold-up is sometimes called “hold-out” by legal practitioners.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''hold-out''<br />
''multilateral bargaining''<br />
''non-participating''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Farrell 2009'''<br />

=The Patent Thicket Literature Review Coding Rules=<br />
<br />
This collection of terms, definitions, key words have been organized and assigned shorthand codes to identify them. See below:<br />
<br />
==Core Terms==<br />
<br />
'''Saturated Invention Spaces - (SIS)'''<br />
As first defined by Teece: when a single firm, or a small number of firms, successfully patents an entire technological area. (p.15)<br />
<br />
'''Example of:''' <br />
''imperfect competition''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''cluster''<br />
''coherent groups''<br />
''adjacent''<br />
''saturated''<br />
''substitutes''<br />
''complements''<br />
''free-ride''<br />
''invent around''<br />
''imperfect competition''<br />
''substitutes''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Teece 1998, Somaya 2003, Hemphill 2003, Hussinger 2006'''<br />
<br />
'''Diversely-held Complimentary Inputs - (DHCI)'''<br />
1) products require complementary patented inputs; 2) these inputs are diversely-held (i.e. held by N patent-holders); and 3) patent-holders set their license prices independently. (Shapiro, pg.17) <br />
<br />
'''Example of:'''<br />
''lack of coordination of licensing prices''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''diversely-held''<br />
''complementary inputs''<br />
''multiple inputs''<br />
''dispersed''<br />
''anticommons''<br />
''tragedy of the anticommons''<br />
''fragmented''<br />
''Cournot problem''<br />
''multiple marginalization''<br />
''FRAND''<br />
''patent pools''<br />
''licensing''<br />
''cross-licensing''<br />
''license''<br />
''standard setting''<br />
''SSO''<br />
''royalty stacking''<br />
''multilateral arrangements''<br />
''bilateral arrangements''<br />
''individual arrangements''<br />
''invent around''<br />
''Mexican Standoff''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
'''Frequent Authors(s): Shapiro 2001, Heller 1997, Heller and Eisenberg 1998, Lemley & Shapiro 2006, Arrow 1973, Mossoff 2009, Lemley 2008, Cheung 1969'''<br />
<br />
'''Overlapping Patents - (OP)'''<br />
Second most common foundation of a thicket. Patents can overlap vertically or horizontally. Horizontal likely due to poorly defined rights.<br />
Refinement patents and research tool patents can result in vertical overlap.<br />
<br />
'''Example of:'''<br />
''Imperfectly defined property rights'''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''patent overlap''<br />
''overlap''<br />
''overlapping claims''<br />
''similar claims''<br />
''simultaneous infringement''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Burk & Lemley 2003, Regibeau & Rockett 2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Gaming the Patent System - (GPS)'''<br />
Patent applicants partake in inappropriate action - such as applying for obvious or non-novel patents. Puts undue burden on the patent office and crates neg. externalities, such as imposing additional costs on genuine inventors.<br />
<br />
'''Example of:'''<br />
''Moral Hazard''<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''spurious patents''<br />
''dubious''<br />
''bad''<br />
''likely invalid''<br />
''junk''<br />
''impeding genuine innovators''<br />
''rent-seeking''<br />
''bad faith''<br />
''submarines''<br />
''ever-greening''<br />
''hidden action''<br />
''Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Marshall 1976, Holstrom 1979, Hegde et al. 2009, Rubinfeld & Maness 2004, Jacob 2009, Jaffe & Lerner 2004, Schmalensee 2009, Attaran 2004'''<br />
<br />
==Modern Terms==<br />
'''Transaction Costs - (TC)'''<br />
All fees associated with patenting: applications, prosecution costs, renewal maintenance. Should de-incentivize low value patents, but may also de-incentivize invention by small firms.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''prosecution costs''<br />
''court fees''<br />
''bargaining costs''<br />
''coordinating costs''<br />
''maintenance fees''<br />
''licensing fees''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
''Coase''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley Shapiro 2006, Callaway 2008, Farrell 2009, Cockburn & MacGarvie 2009/2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Probabilistic Patents - (PP)'''<br />
Patents are inherently probabilistic b/c they do not guarantee monopoly rights over new art. Rather patents suggest a greater likelihood to prevail in court should there be litigation. They cannot provide perfect protection from infringement or obstruct the filing of invalid patents. <br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''imperfectly defined property rights''<br />
''probabilistic''<br />
''uncertain''<br />
''infringement''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley & Shapiro 2005/2006, Bessen 2003'''<br />
<br />
'''Unspecified / Extended Use - (UnEx)'''<br />
Patents issued for reason/utility unknown. Also applies to patents issued for discreet, inventive steps that do not have stand-alone commercial value.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''ever-greening''<br />
''submarine patents''<br />
''viagra''<br />
''expected returns''<br />
''commercialization opportunities''<br />
''spurious patents''<br />
''gaming the patent system''<br />
''patent portfolios''<br />
''stand-alone commercial value''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Kiley, Jacob'''<br />
<br />
'''Search Costs - (SC)'''<br />
All costs associated with finding preexisting patents to avoid infringement and verify novelty. This is particularly expensive for smaller firms lacking robust search capabilities.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''transaction costs''<br />
''fees''<br />
''Coase''<br />
''Coasian''<br />
''Leahy-Smith''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Wang 2010, Lemley Shapiro 2006, Callaway 2008, Farrell 2009, Cockburn & MacGarvie 2011'''<br />
<br />
'''Patent Hold-up - (PH)'''<br />
The patentees ability to extract higher license fees after the infringer has sunk costs implementing the patented technology. Had the infringer sought licensing prior to utilization, license fees are assumed to be lower. This is the opposite of reverse patent hold-up, which is when the infringer uses the invention and waits to get sued whilst presuming that litigation will be slow, uncertain, and costly for the patentee.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''hold-up''<br />
''Williamson's''<br />
''FRAND''<br />
''SEP''<br />
''license fee''<br />
''guile''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Lemley, Shapiro, Farrell, Langus, Epstein, Williamson, Hayes, Sullivan, FTC'''<br />
<br />
'''Strategic Patents - (SP)'''<br />
Often used to describe accumulating many patents merely to control design freedom. In this case, patents are commonly used as bargaining chips rather than reflecting intrinsic value. Largely welfare neutral, however it can contribute to transaction and search costs.<br />
<br />
'''Look for'''<br />
''accumulating patents''<br />
''patent portfolio''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Hall & Ziedonis'''<br />
<br />
'''Hold-out - (HO)'''<br />
Can occur in situations of DHCI when a "hold-out" player resists participating in a multilateral agreement across different parties. The nonparticipating hold-out player takes advantage of their position to extract higher rents from licensees because self-interest and social welfare are not aligned.<br />
*Reverse patent hold-up is sometimes called “hold-out” by legal practitioners.<br />
<br />
'''Look for:'''<br />
''hold-out''<br />
''multilateral bargaining''<br />
''non-participating''<br />
'''Frequent Author(s): Farrell 2009'''<br />

=Prioritization of Next Steps=<br />
<br />
1. Identify which papers in “Candidate Papers by LB” are papers from the original 64 and which are new. Ensure there are no repeats.<br />
<br />
2. Locate the tool or develop a methodology to determine the relevance of any new papers.<br />
<br />
3. Locate the papers that the Google Scholar crawler automatically downloaded, ensure there are no repeats with the set of papers from step 1, and then determine relevance. <br />
<br />
4. Locate the papers that the Google Scholar crawler has not automatically downloaded, manually download them, ensure there are no repeats with the set of papers from steps 1 or 2, and then determine relevance. <br />
<br />
5. Take the aggregate papers from steps 1-4 to create a single Master Relevant Paper List.<br />
<br />
6. Determine what metadata and characteristics about the papers will be necessary for the final paper. Collect this metadata and these characteristics from the Master Relevant Paper List.<br />
<br />
7. Determine codification standards for Patent Thickets that will be useful for the final paper. Also consider what "Modern Terms" may be worthwhile to the final paper. <br />
<br />
8. Manually codify each paper in the Master Relevant Paper List by the standards determined, and record the process so that an automatic process may be trained. During codification, record any "Modern Terms" that appear in the papers, and iterate between the growing list of "Modern Terms" and your considerations from step 7 to develop a list of "Modern Terms."<br />
<br />
9. Develop or locate the automatic process for Patent Thicket codification, and train it by using the process recordings from step 7. Then initiate the automatic codification. <br />
<br />
10. Compare the manually and automatically collected codifications of the Master Relevant Paper List. Ensure some amount of synchronization and standardization.<br />
<br />
11. Complete any last iterations of "Modern Terms" that would be needed for this final paper.<br />
<br />
12. Synthesize the automatically codified set, the manually codified set, the iterative "Modern Terms" set, and the Metadata from step 6 all into a single Master Data-set. <br />
<br />
13. Analyze the Master Data-set.<br />
<br />
14. Write the final paper.<br />

<div>==Summary==<br />
"The $1.6 trillion Texas economy is the second biggest in the U.S., behind only California. Texas ranks first for current economic climate thanks to the second fastest economic growth and third fastest job growth over the past five years. In addition, there are 109 of the 1,000 largest public and private companies in the U.S. based in Texas, including giants like AT&T, ExxonMobil and Dell. Startup activity is also tops in the nation among larger states per the Kauffman Foundation. One of the only things holding Texas back is the education rate among its labor supply. Only 82% of adults have a high school degree, which is second lowest among the states." - https://www.forbes.com/places/tx/<br />
<br />
==GDP by Sector==<br />
"Real value added to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Texas in 2016, by industry (in billion chained 2009 U.S. dollars)" - https://www.statista.com/statistics/304890/texas-real-gdp-by-industry/<br />

==Migration==<br />
"Of Texas’ total population growth between 2010 and 2016, migration accounted for almost exactly half (Exhibit 2). Net domestic migration — arrivals to and from other U.S. states — represented about 32 percent of the total increase, with net international immigration accounting for 19 percent. “Natural increase,” the population change due to in-state births less in-state deaths, represented 49 percent of the state’s net growth." - https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/2017/october/migration.php#article<br />

=Prioritization of Next Steps=<br />
<br />
1. Identify which papers in “Candidate Papers by LB” are papers from the original 64 and which are new. Ensure there are no repeats.<br />
<br />
2. Locate the tool or develop a methodology to determine the relevance of any new papers.<br />
<br />
3. Locate the papers that the Google Scholar crawler automatically downloaded, ensure there are no repeats with the set of papers from step 1, and then determine relevance. <br />
<br />
4. Locate the papers that the Google Scholar crawler has not automatically downloaded, manually download them, ensure there are no repeats with the set of papers from steps 1 or 2, and then determine relevance. <br />
<br />
5. Take the aggregate papers from steps 1-4 to create a single Master Relevant Paper List.<br />
<br />
6. Determine what metadata and characteristics about the papers will be necessary for the final paper. Collect this metadata and these characteristics from the Master Relevant Paper List.<br />
<br />
7. Determine codification standards for Patent Thickets that will be useful for the final paper. Also consider what "Modern Terms" may be worthwhile to the final paper. <br />
<br />
8. Manually codify each paper in the Master Relevant Paper List by the standards determined, and record the process so that an automatic process may be trained. During codification, record any "Modern Terms" that appear in the papers, and iterate between the growing list of "Modern Terms" and your considerations from step 7 to develop a list of "Modern Terms."<br />
<br />
9. Develop or locate the automatic process for Patent Thicket codification, and train it by using the process recordings from step 7. Then initiate the automatic codification. <br />
<br />
10. Compare the manually and automatically collected codifications of the Master Relevant Paper List. Ensure some amount of synchronization and standardization.<br />
<br />
11. Complete any last iterations of "Modern Terms" that would be needed for this final paper.<br />
<br />
12. Synthesize the automatically codified set, the manually codified set, the iterative "Modern Terms" set, and the Metadata from step 6 all into a single Master Data-set. <br />
<br />
13. Analyze the Master Data-set.<br />
<br />
14. Write the final paper.<br />

==Migration==<br />
"Of Texas’ total population growth between 2010 and 2016, migration accounted for almost exactly half (Exhibit 2). Net domestic migration — arrivals to and from other U.S. states — represented about 32 percent of the total increase, with net international immigration accounting for 19 percent. “Natural increase,” the population change due to in-state births less in-state deaths, represented 49 percent of the state’s net growth." - https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/2017/october/migration.php#article<br />

<br />
=Prioritization of Next Steps=<br />
<br />
1. Identify which papers in “Candidate Papers by LB” are papers from the original 64 and which are new. Ensure there are no repeats.<br />
<br />
2. Locate the tool or develop a methodology to determine the relevance of any new papers.<br />
<br />
3. Locate the papers that the Google Scholar crawler automatically downloaded, ensure there are no repeats with the set of papers from step 1, and then determine relevance. <br />
<br />
4. Locate the papers that the Google Scholar crawler has not automatically downloaded, manually download them, ensure there are no repeats with the set of papers from steps 1 or 2, and then determine relevance. <br />
<br />
5. Take the aggregate papers from steps 1-4 to create a single Master Relevant Paper List.<br />
<br />
6. Determine what metadata and characteristics about the papers will be necessary for the final paper. Collect this metadata and these characteristics from the Master Relevant Paper List.<br />
<br />
7. Determine codification standards for Patent Thickets that will be useful for the final paper. Also consider what "Modern Terms" may be worthwhile to the final paper. <br />
<br />
8. Manually codify each paper in the Master Relevant Paper List by the standards determined, and record the process so that an automatic process may be trained. During codification, record any "Modern Terms" that appear in the papers, and iterate between the growing list of "Modern Terms" and your considerations from step 7 to develop a list of "Modern Terms."<br />
<br />
9. Develop or locate the automatic process for Patent Thicket codification, and train it by using the process recordings from step 7. Then initiate the automatic codification. <br />
<br />
10. Compare the manually and automatically collected codifications of the Master Relevant Paper List. Ensure some amount of synchronization and standardization.<br />
<br />
11. Complete any last iterations of "Modern Terms" that would be needed for this final paper.<br />
<br />
12. Synthesize the automatically codified set, the manually codified set, the iterative "Modern Terms" set, and the Metadata from step 6 all into a single Master Data-set. <br />
<br />
13. Analyze the Master Data-set.<br />
<br />
14. Write the final paper.<br />

On September 2017, Amazon announced it wants a second home outside Seattle. The news has resulted in a fierce bidding war to lure Amazon — and the thousands of high-paying jobs — using a combination of tax breaks and other incentives. <br />
<br />
Amazon’s current headquarters are located in downtown Seattle, Washington. Amazon has been a catalyst for the development of the South Lake Union Innovation District in Seattle. In 2017, Amazon was awarded the “City Maker” award by the Downtown Seattle Association. The company estimates its investments in Seattle from 2010 through 2016 resulted in an additional $38 billion to the city’s economy – every dollar invested by Amazon in Seattle generated an additional $1.4 for the city’s economy overall. More information at: www.amazon.com/amazonHQ2.<br />
<br />
The second headquarters is expected to generate as many as fifty thousand (50,000) new full-time employees with an average annual total compensation exceeding one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) over the next ten to fifteen years, following commencement of operations. The Project is expected to have over $5 billion in capital investment over the initial 15-17 years of the Project.<br />
<br />
We intend to provide information about Amazon's requests and any updates on the decision-making process.<br />
<br />
==Request for Proposal==<br />
<br />
Amazon's RFP was launched on September 7, 2017, the response deadline is by October 19, 2017, and the Final Site Selection is scheduled for 2018.<br />
<br />
In choosing the location for HQ2, Amazon has a preference for:<br />
<br />
Metropolitan areas with more than one million people<br />
<br />
A stable and business-friendly environment<br />
<br />
Urban or suburban locations with the potential to attract and retain strong technical talent<br />
<br />
Communities that think big and creatively when considering locations and real estate options<br />
<br />
<br />
HQ2 could be, but does not have to be:<br />
<br />
An urban or downtown campus<br />
<br />
A similar layout to Amazon’s Seattle campus<br />
<br />
A development-prepped site. We want to encourage states/provinces and communities to think creatively for viable real estate options, while not negatively affecting our preferred timeline<br />
<br />
<br />
==Building / Site Requirements for HQ2 ==<br />
<br />
Amazon is considering greenfield sites, infill sites, existing buildings, or a combination for the Project. As such, Amazon will prioritize certified or shovel-ready greenfield sites and infill opportunities with appropriate infrastructure and ability to meet the Project’s timeline and development demands, as set forth below. <br />
<br />
Site Requirements<br />
<br />
Proximity to population center: 30 Miles<br />
<br />
Proximity to International airport: Within approx. 45 Minutes<br />
<br />
Proximity to major highways and arterial roads: Not more than 1-2 Miles (Close to major arterial roads to provide optimal access)<br />
<br />
Access to mass transit: At site (Direct access to rail, train, subway/metro, bus routes<br />
<br />
<br />
Building Requirements<br />
<br />
Initial Square Foot Requirement: 500,000+ Sq. Ft. Phase I (2019)<br />
<br />
Total Square Foot Requirement Up to 8,000,000 Sq. Ft. (Beyond 2027)<br />
<br />
==Amazon’s Seattle headquarters == <br />
<br />
Direct Impact<br />
<br />
33 buildings <br />
<br />
8.1 million Square feet <br />
<br />
24 restaurants/cafes + 8 other services as Local retail within Amazon headquarters <br />
<br />
40,000+ Amazon Employees <br />
<br />
$3.7 billion Capital investment (buildings & infrastructure)<br />
<br />
$1.4 billion in Operational expenditures (utilities & maintenance) <br />
<br />
$25.7 billion Compensation to employees<br />
<br />
233,000 Annual hotel nights by visiting Amazonians and guests (2016) <br />
<br />
$43 million paid into the city’s public transportation system as employees benefit<br />
<br />
Indirect Impact <br />
<br />
53,000 Additional jobs created in the city <br />
<br />
$38 billion Additional investments in the local economy <br />
<br />
$17 billion Increase in personal income by non-Amazon employees <br />
<br />
7 in 2010 to 31 in 2017 Increase in Fortune 500 companies with engineering/R&D centers in Seattle<br />
<br />
==Priority for Consideration ==<br />
<br />
Amazon will consider the following site/building categories for the Project:<br />
<br />
Existing buildings of at least 500,000+ sq. ft. based on core requirements <br />
<br />
A greenfield site of approximately 100 acres, with utility infrastructure in place and pedestrian-friendly.<br />
<br />
Other infills, existing buildings, including opportunities for renovation/redevelopment and<br />
greenfield sites.<br />
<br />
Overall proximity of the buildings at full build-out<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Key Preferences and Decision Drivers ==<br />
<br />
Amazon’s preferences in no particular order.<br />
<br />
Site/Building: suitable buildings/sites based on core requirements and preferences. <br />
<br />
Capital and Operating Costs: stable and business-friendly environment and tax structure.<br />
<br />
Incentives: incentive programs available (i.e. land, site preparation, tax credits/exemptions, relocation grants, workforce grants, utility incentives/grants, permitting, and fee reductions) <br />
<br />
Labor Force: highly educated labor pool and a strong university system.<br />
<br />
Logistics: highway corridor and arterial roadway capacity potential with direct access to significant population centers. International airport with daily direct flights to Seattle, New York, San Francisco/Bay Area, and Washington, D.C. is also an important consideration.<br />
Time to Operations: Requisite access, utility infrastructure, and zoning are critical. <br />
<br />
Cultural Community Fit: diverse population, excellent institutions of higher education, local government support. Stable and consistent business climate.<br />
<br />
Community/Quality of Life: overall high quality of life, recreational opportunities, educational opportunities.<br />
<br />
==Post-Finalist Commentary==<br />
<br />
Amazon said the chosen location would have to have a talented workforce that already was based in the area, as well as good public transportation infrastructure and easy access to major airports. - https://www.recode.net/2018/1/18/16905148/amazons-hq2-finalists-boston-austin-newark-second-headquarters</div>DylanDickenshttp://www.edegan.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Lyceum_Research_Page&diff=22429Lyceum Research Page2018-01-11T17:13:11Z<p>DylanDickens: /* Migration */</p>
<hr />
<div>==Summary==<br />
"The $1.6 trillion Texas economy is the second biggest in the U.S., behind only California. Texas ranks first for current economic climate thanks to the second fastest economic growth and third fastest job growth over the past five years. In addition, there are 109 of the 1,000 largest public and private companies in the U.S. based in Texas, including giants like AT&T, ExxonMobil and Dell. Startup activity is also tops in the nation among larger states per the Kauffman Foundation. One of the only things holding Texas back is the education rate among its labor supply. Only 82% of adults have a high school degree, which is second lowest among the states." - https://www.forbes.com/places/tx/<br />
<br />
==GDP by Sector==<br />
"Real value added to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Texas in 2016, by industry (in billion chained 2009 U.S. dollars)" - https://www.statista.com/statistics/304890/texas-real-gdp-by-industry/<br />

==Patents==<br />
Siemens is #22 if you count them as "oil & gas" otherwise the first holder is DOW Chemicals at 55 or Schlumberger at 60. Halliburton is at 73. The first supermajor is ExxonMobil at 98." - http://www.ipo.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2016_Top-300-Patent-Owners.pdf<br />
<br />
==Migration==<br />
"Of Texas’ total population growth between 2010 and 2016, migration accounted for almost exactly half (Exhibit 2). Net domestic migration — arrivals to and from other U.S. states — represented about 32 percent of the total increase, with net international immigration accounting for 19 percent. “Natural increase,” the population change due to in-state births less in-state deaths, represented 49 percent of the state’s net growth." - https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/2017/october/migration.php#article<br />
<br />
The vast majority of individuals leaving California are lower income with less education. Most of those who enter are higher income and educated. - http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/article136478098.html</div>DylanDickenshttp://www.edegan.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Dylan_Dickens_(Work_Log)&diff=22428Dylan Dickens (Work Log)2018-01-10T17:26:31Z<p>DylanDickens: /* Spring 2018 */</p>

abstract = {In recent years the number of women-owned firms with employees has expanded at three times the rate of all employer firms. Yet women remain underrepresented in their proportion of high-growth firms. A number of plausible explanations exist. To develop richer insights, a two-stage research project was undertaken. A mail survey was sent to a sample of female entrepreneurs to assess motives, obstacles, goals and aspirations, needs, and business identity. Based on the survey results, follow-up, in-depth interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs, selecting equally from modest-growth and high-growth ventures. In terms of quantitative findings, growth orientation was associated with whether a woman was “pushed” or “pulled” into entrepreneurship, was motivated by wealth or achievement factors, had a strong women's identity in the venture, had equity partners, and believed women faced unique selling obstacles. The qualitative research made clear that modest- and high-growth entrepreneurs differ in how they view themselves, their families, their ventures, and the larger environment. The results of both stages suggest that growth is a deliberate choice and that women have a clear sense of the costs and benefits of growth and make careful trade-off decisions.},<br />

abstract = {Despite the increasing number of women who are starting businesses, distinct hurdles exist for them. For instance, there is a lower occurrence of females as business owners and a paucity of academic research on the topic of female entrepreneurs. Another major hurdle is the presence of "derogatory myths" like those specified in the U.S. Diana Project. A random sample of nascent entrepreneurs in Canada is utilized to examine these myths about women entrepreneurs. Although many of the myths were unsubstantiated, the findings show that perhaps women do not have the right educational background to start large businesses and they may be starting businesses unattractive to venture capitalists. These findings are a clear wake-up call for the implementation of new programs and policies to increase the number of females studying computer and engineering sciences and to encourage and nurture a higher incidence of females as lead entrepreneurs.

abstract = {Equity capital fuels growth companies and yields high returns for investors. The process of equity investment and ultimate harvesting of innovative companies has created significant wealth among fund investors, venture capitalists, angels and new entrepreneurs. Extensive research investigates all phases of the venture capital investment process, industry characteristics and returns to investors. Surprisingly absent from current research are studies including women, on both the supply (equity provider) and demand (equity seeker) sides. Women make significant contributions to the US economy in the workforce and as business owners, yet research about women as recipients of equity capital and providers of equity is extremely scarce. This raises a question–are women being left out of the wealth creation process? Our paper addresses this question by exploring women's role in supply and demand of equity capital. We utilize a social capital perspective to develop a conceptual framework and focus our analysis on early stage and angel investment. The paper concludes with directions for future research.},<br />

abstract = {The number of women entrepreneurs is rising rapidly and many are creating substantial businesses. For most women-led ventures, growth is funded by personal investment and debt, although a small percentage draw on private equity investment to fuel high growth. Of those that seek growth, not only do they face higher obstacles in obtaining capital, but little is known about ways they position ventures for growth. This paper addresses the question: ‘How do women develop financing strategies to prove the business concept, meet early stage milestones, and demonstrate to external investors the value and potential of their businesses?’ Data are drawn from phone interviews with 88 US female entrepreneurs seeking an equity investment to grow their businesses. The analysis examines the correspondence between bootstrapping and stage of business development. Results show significant differences in the use of bootstrap options utilized by women-led ventures depending on stage of business development. Companies that have not achieved sales were more likely to emphasize bootstrapping to reduce labour, while those companies with greater sales were more likely to minimize cost of operations. Implications for future research and education are suggested.},<br />

abstract = {During the last two decades, researchers have sought to develop categories of entrepreneurs and their businesses along a variety of dimensions to better comprehend and analyze the entrepreneurial growth process. Some of this research has focused on differences related to industrial sectors, firm size, the geographical region in which a business is located, the use of high-technology or low-technology, and the life-cycle stage of the firm (i.e., start-up vs. more mature, formalized companies). Researchers have also considered ways in which entrepreneurs can be differentiated from small business managers. One of these classifications is based on the entrepreneur's desire to grow the business rapidly. This is the focus of our study. To date, the media have paid considerable attention to rapidly growing new ventures. However, still lacking are large-scale research studies guided by theory through which we can expand our knowledge of the underlying factors supporting ambitious expansion plans. Some research has identified factors that enhance or reduce the willingness of the entrepreneur to grow the business. Factors include the strategic origin of the business (i.e., the methods and paths through which the firm was founded); previous experience of the founder/owner; and the ability of the entrepreneur to set realistic, measurable goals and to manage conflict effectively. Our study attempted to identify the strategic paths chosen by entrepreneurs and the relation of those paths to the growth orientation of the firm. The entrepreneurs sampled in this study are women entrepreneurs across a wide range of industrial sectors. Recent reviews of entrepreneurship research have suggested the need for more studies comparing high-growth firms with slower-growth firms to better delineate their differences in strategic choices and behaviors. Our study sought to answer the following questions: What characterizes a “high growth-oriented entrepreneur?” Is this distinction associated with specific strategic intentions, prior experience, equity held in previous firms, the type of company structure in place, or success factors the entrepreneur perceives are important to the business? Do “high growth” entrepreneurs show greater entrepreneurial “intensity” (i.e., commitment to the firm's success)? Are they willing to “pay the price” for their own and their firm's success? (i.e., the “opportunity costs” associated with business success and growth). Other relationships under investigation included different patterns of financing the business' start-up and early growth. Do “high-growth” entrepreneurs use unique sources of funding compared with “lower-growth” entrepreneurs? Eight hundred thirty-two entrepreneurs responded to a survey in which they were asked to describe their growth intentions along nineteen strategic dimensions, as well as respond to the foregoing questions. Some of the strategic activity measures included adding a new product or service, expanding operations, selling to a new market, and applying for a loan to expand operations. Actual growth rates based on sales revenues were calculated, and average annualized growth rates of the industrial sectors represented in the sample were obtained. This study showed that high-growth-oriented entrepreneurs were clearly different from low-growth-oriented entrepreneurs along several dimensions. The former were much more likely to select strategies for their firms that permitted greater focus on market expansion and new technologies, to exhibit greater intensity towards business ownership (“my business is the most important activity in my life”), and to be willing to incur greater opportunity costs for the success of their firms (“I would rather own my own business than earn a higher salary while employed by someone else”). The high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs tended to have a more structured approach to organizing their businesses, which suggests a more disciplined perception of managing the firm. In summary, results showed the group of high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs, labeled “ambitious,” as having the following distinctions: strategic intentions that emphasize market growth and technological change, stronger commitment to the success of the business, greater willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the business, earlier planning for the growth of the business, utilization of a team-based form of organization design, concern for reputation and quality, adequate capitalization, strong leadership, and utilization of a wider range of financing sources for the expansion of the venture. The purpose in uncovering these differences is to enable entrepreneurs and researchers to identify more clearly the attributes of rapid-growth ventures and their founders and to move closer to a field-based model of the entrepreneurial growth process which will help delineate the alternative paths to venture growth and organizational change.},<br />

However, the flow of venture capital investment to women-led businesses remains meager in spite of the fact that in the US and Europe an increasing number of businesses are owned by women. The apparent disparity between potential investment opportunity and actual deals made between venture capital firms and women-led businesses raises the question of whether gender is an issue. The majority of venture capital studies investigate equity funds flows, investor criteria and the nature of the investor-investee relationship. Research on women entrepreneurs focuses on psychological dimensions, business characteristics and performance. Questions about the intersection of gender and venture capital financing are largely unexamined. This exploratory study utilizes longitudinal data to track US venture capital investments by proportion, stage, industry and gender.

More recently, the focus of this research has broadened to examine women and venture capital. This article extends the focus further by examining the role of women in the business angel market, which is more important than the formal venture capital market in terms of both the number of ventures supported and total capital flows. Based on a detailed analysis of business angels in the U.K., the study concludes that women investors who are active in the market differ from their male counterparts in only limited respects. Future research into women business angels, and the possible existence of gender differences, needs to be based on more fully elaborated standpoint epistemologies that focus on the experience of the woman angel investor per se, and center on the examination of the role of homophily, social capital, networking, and competition in investment behavior.},<br />

abstract = {In spite of the proliferation of studies of female entrepreneurs, few researchers have attempted to directly compare female and male entrepreneurs in terms of their problems, the assistance received in addressing these problems, the value of outside consulting services, and the number of startups subsequent to counseling. Such studies are needed, not only to determine if there are differences in the problems male and female entrepreneurs face, but more importantly, to determine if any of these differences affect the successful development of new ventures. The fact that the SBA recently established a special training program for women entrepreneurs funded by a new \$10 million grant, approved by Congress in 1988 (H.R. 5050), makes the issue even more timely and pertinent. To address this issue, this article compares samples of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs who received consulting assistance from a state-level Small Business Development Center (SBDC). The two groups were compared in terms of: (1) the strategic, administrative, and operating assistance received; (2) their evaluation of the value of the consulting services; and (3) their propensity to initiate ventures after receiving SBDC assistance. The study was based on the results of two surveys of the entire population of 457 long-term pre-venture clients that received counseling from one SBDC state system between July 1, 1985, and June 30, 1987. All clients were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the kinds of assistance sought, the quality of the service received, and whether or not they subsequently went into business. We received 162 (35.4\%) usable responses, of which 94 were from males (58.0\%) and 68 were from females (42.0\%). T-tests and chi-square tests of independence and goodness-of-fit were used to test hypotheses pertaining to the assistance needs of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs. Results indicated that male and female clients of the SBDC are virtually identical in terms of their assistance needs. Females do not appear to need more assistance than males, nor do they appear to require different types of assistance. The virtually identical ratings of service value among males and females also indicates that both genders are equally satisfied with the assistance received. Taken together, these findings suggest that females suffer no significant entrepreneurial disadvantages compared to males. If they had, it would be logical to assume that females, who received the same types and amounts of assistance as males, would find such levels of service inadequate, and consequently, rate it less favorably. Furthermore, the fact that the proportion of female clients was statistically equal to the proportion of net new businesses operated by women refutes the notion that general-assistance programs such as the SBDC are not equally accessible to both genders. The fact that female client start-ups were significantly higher than their proportional representation in the region further supports this conclusion. The primary implication for public policy makers and outside consultants is that little evidence exists to warrant special treatment or special programs for females, especially at a cost of \$10 million. In terms of research implications, our results suggest that it would be better if future studies concentrated on behaviors and strategic factors affecting the performance of new ventures (whether male-or female-owned), rather than merely comparing the characteristics of the entrepreneurs who start them.},<br />

This represented a rate of increase five times greater than that for men in the same period. From 1977 to 1980 the proportion of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by women increased from 22.6 percent to 26.1 percent. In addition, the number of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by couples soared from 284,405 in 1981 to 440,000 in 1982. To find out why women are turning to entrepreneurship in increasing numbers, two surveys were conducted: one of women entrepreneurs in the state of Georgia, and another of both male and female entrepreneurs in the Atlanta area for purposes of comparison.},<br />

abstract={Entrepreneurship contributes to economic development in countries worldwide. Entrepreneurial activity is beneficial for both men and women, including those in developing countries. However, men and women may not engage in entrepreneurship to the same extent because of differential access to (various forms of) capital. This study examines the relative importance of three types of capital – human, family and financial – in pursuing entrepreneurship. Using data collected in Turkey, we find that regardless of sex, all three forms of capital influence the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur in varying degrees. Contrary to expectations, the impact of human capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur is higher for women than men. Data also revealed that family capital facilitates women's entry into entrepreneurship only when family size is very large (i.e. seven or more). No gender differences are observed in the impact of financial capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur. Findings suggest that to encourage entrepreneurship in Turkey, policy-makers should emphasize access to human and financial capital. Furthermore, findings suggest that women's likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur will be especially encouraged if they have increased access to education, as well as the skills necessary to take advantage of their family capital.},<br />

We find that the constraint imposed by the quota caused a significant drop in the stock price at the announcement of the law and a large decline in Tobin's Q over the following years, consistent with the idea that firms choose boards to maximize value. The quota led to younger and less experienced boards, increases in leverage and acquisitions, and deterioration in operating performance.},<br />

The debate focuses on questions such as whether a corporation’s board should reflect the firm’s stakeholders or be more in line with society in general. This article uses a sample of listed Danish firms during the period of 1998–2001 in a cross sectional analysis. Despite that fact that Denmark has gone very far in the liberalisation of women, Danish board rooms are still to a large extent dominated by men. Contrary to a number of other studies, this article does not find any significant link between firm performance as measured by Tobin’s Q and female board representation. This is also the case for board members’ educational background as well as the proportion of foreigners. It is argued that board members with an unconventional background are socialised unconsciously adopting the ideas of the majority of conventional board members, which entails that a potential performance effect does not materialise.},<br />

abstract={Entrepreneurship is becoming an increasingly important source of employment for women across many countries. The level of female involvement in entrepreneurial activity, however, is still significantly lower than that of men. We take a behavioral economics approach and, using a large sample of individuals in 17 countries, we investigate what variables influence the entrepreneurial propensity of women and whether those variables have a significant correlation with differences across genders. In addition to demographic and economic variables, we include a number of perceptual variables. Our results show that subjective perceptual variables have a crucial influence on the entrepreneurial propensity of women and account for much of the difference in entrepreneurial activity between the sexes. Specifically, we find that women tend to perceive themselves and the entrepreneurial environment in a less favorable light than men across all countries in our sample and regardless of entrepreneurial motivation. Our results suggest that perceptual variables may be significant universal factors influencing entrepreneurial behavior.},<br />

abstract={Women are one particularly understudied group of entrepreneurs. We know very little about female entrepreneurs, and our ignorance of this important demographic is a serious blind spot in any effort to increase the total number of entrepreneurs participating in our economy. What little we do know suggests that women are not nearly as active in the entrepreneurial space as they could be. This study attempts to address part of this knowledge gap. This based on data were collected in 2008-2009 from 549 respondents from randomly selected high-tech companies who were invited to participate. It compares the backgrounds, and experiences and motivations of men and women entrepreneurs. Our findings show that successful women and men entrepreneurs are similar in almost every respect. They had equivalent levels of education (slightly less than half earned graduate degrees), early interest in starting their own business (about half had at least some interest), a strong desire to build wealth or capitalize on a business idea, access to funding, and they largely agreed on the top issues and challenges facing any entrepreneur. The data also identify some small but potentially informative gender differences among successful entrepreneurs. For instance, motivations for starting a business differed slightly between men and women. The latter were more likely to cite a business partner’s encouragement as a key incentive to take the plunge. Women also were more likely than men to get early funding from their business partners.}<br />

abstract = {In recent years the number of women-owned firms with employees has expanded at three times the rate of all employer firms. Yet women remain underrepresented in their proportion of high-growth firms. A number of plausible explanations exist. To develop richer insights, a two-stage research project was undertaken. A mail survey was sent to a sample of female entrepreneurs to assess motives, obstacles, goals and aspirations, needs, and business identity. Based on the survey results, follow-up, in-depth interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs, selecting equally from modest-growth and high-growth ventures. In terms of quantitative findings, growth orientation was associated with whether a woman was “pushed” or “pulled” into entrepreneurship, was motivated by wealth or achievement factors, had a strong women's identity in the venture, had equity partners, and believed women faced unique selling obstacles. The qualitative research made clear that modest- and high-growth entrepreneurs differ in how they view themselves, their families, their ventures, and the larger environment. The results of both stages suggest that growth is a deliberate choice and that women have a clear sense of the costs and benefits of growth and make careful trade-off decisions.},<br />

abstract = {Despite the increasing number of women who are starting businesses, distinct hurdles exist for them. For instance, there is a lower occurrence of females as business owners and a paucity of academic research on the topic of female entrepreneurs. Another major hurdle is the presence of "derogatory myths" like those specified in the U.S. Diana Project. A random sample of nascent entrepreneurs in Canada is utilized to examine these myths about women entrepreneurs. Although many of the myths were unsubstantiated, the findings show that perhaps women do not have the right educational background to start large businesses and they may be starting businesses unattractive to venture capitalists. These findings are a clear wake-up call for the implementation of new programs and policies to increase the number of females studying computer and engineering sciences and to encourage and nurture a higher incidence of females as lead entrepreneurs.

abstract = {Equity capital fuels growth companies and yields high returns for investors. The process of equity investment and ultimate harvesting of innovative companies has created significant wealth among fund investors, venture capitalists, angels and new entrepreneurs. Extensive research investigates all phases of the venture capital investment process, industry characteristics and returns to investors. Surprisingly absent from current research are studies including women, on both the supply (equity provider) and demand (equity seeker) sides. Women make significant contributions to the US economy in the workforce and as business owners, yet research about women as recipients of equity capital and providers of equity is extremely scarce. This raises a question–are women being left out of the wealth creation process? Our paper addresses this question by exploring women's role in supply and demand of equity capital. We utilize a social capital perspective to develop a conceptual framework and focus our analysis on early stage and angel investment. The paper concludes with directions for future research.},<br />

abstract = {The number of women entrepreneurs is rising rapidly and many are creating substantial businesses. For most women-led ventures, growth is funded by personal investment and debt, although a small percentage draw on private equity investment to fuel high growth. Of those that seek growth, not only do they face higher obstacles in obtaining capital, but little is known about ways they position ventures for growth. This paper addresses the question: ‘How do women develop financing strategies to prove the business concept, meet early stage milestones, and demonstrate to external investors the value and potential of their businesses?’ Data are drawn from phone interviews with 88 US female entrepreneurs seeking an equity investment to grow their businesses. The analysis examines the correspondence between bootstrapping and stage of business development. Results show significant differences in the use of bootstrap options utilized by women-led ventures depending on stage of business development. Companies that have not achieved sales were more likely to emphasize bootstrapping to reduce labour, while those companies with greater sales were more likely to minimize cost of operations. Implications for future research and education are suggested.},<br />

abstract = {During the last two decades, researchers have sought to develop categories of entrepreneurs and their businesses along a variety of dimensions to better comprehend and analyze the entrepreneurial growth process. Some of this research has focused on differences related to industrial sectors, firm size, the geographical region in which a business is located, the use of high-technology or low-technology, and the life-cycle stage of the firm (i.e., start-up vs. more mature, formalized companies). Researchers have also considered ways in which entrepreneurs can be differentiated from small business managers. One of these classifications is based on the entrepreneur's desire to grow the business rapidly. This is the focus of our study. To date, the media have paid considerable attention to rapidly growing new ventures. However, still lacking are large-scale research studies guided by theory through which we can expand our knowledge of the underlying factors supporting ambitious expansion plans. Some research has identified factors that enhance or reduce the willingness of the entrepreneur to grow the business. Factors include the strategic origin of the business (i.e., the methods and paths through which the firm was founded); previous experience of the founder/owner; and the ability of the entrepreneur to set realistic, measurable goals and to manage conflict effectively. Our study attempted to identify the strategic paths chosen by entrepreneurs and the relation of those paths to the growth orientation of the firm. The entrepreneurs sampled in this study are women entrepreneurs across a wide range of industrial sectors. Recent reviews of entrepreneurship research have suggested the need for more studies comparing high-growth firms with slower-growth firms to better delineate their differences in strategic choices and behaviors. Our study sought to answer the following questions: What characterizes a “high growth-oriented entrepreneur?” Is this distinction associated with specific strategic intentions, prior experience, equity held in previous firms, the type of company structure in place, or success factors the entrepreneur perceives are important to the business? Do “high growth” entrepreneurs show greater entrepreneurial “intensity” (i.e., commitment to the firm's success)? Are they willing to “pay the price” for their own and their firm's success? (i.e., the “opportunity costs” associated with business success and growth). Other relationships under investigation included different patterns of financing the business' start-up and early growth. Do “high-growth” entrepreneurs use unique sources of funding compared with “lower-growth” entrepreneurs? Eight hundred thirty-two entrepreneurs responded to a survey in which they were asked to describe their growth intentions along nineteen strategic dimensions, as well as respond to the foregoing questions. Some of the strategic activity measures included adding a new product or service, expanding operations, selling to a new market, and applying for a loan to expand operations. Actual growth rates based on sales revenues were calculated, and average annualized growth rates of the industrial sectors represented in the sample were obtained. This study showed that high-growth-oriented entrepreneurs were clearly different from low-growth-oriented entrepreneurs along several dimensions. The former were much more likely to select strategies for their firms that permitted greater focus on market expansion and new technologies, to exhibit greater intensity towards business ownership (“my business is the most important activity in my life”), and to be willing to incur greater opportunity costs for the success of their firms (“I would rather own my own business than earn a higher salary while employed by someone else”). The high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs tended to have a more structured approach to organizing their businesses, which suggests a more disciplined perception of managing the firm. In summary, results showed the group of high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs, labeled “ambitious,” as having the following distinctions: strategic intentions that emphasize market growth and technological change, stronger commitment to the success of the business, greater willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the business, earlier planning for the growth of the business, utilization of a team-based form of organization design, concern for reputation and quality, adequate capitalization, strong leadership, and utilization of a wider range of financing sources for the expansion of the venture. The purpose in uncovering these differences is to enable entrepreneurs and researchers to identify more clearly the attributes of rapid-growth ventures and their founders and to move closer to a field-based model of the entrepreneurial growth process which will help delineate the alternative paths to venture growth and organizational change.},<br />

abstract = {Since the early 1980s, new ventures with high growth potential and large capital needs have found an ever-increasing pool of venture capital available to support their growth. However, the flow of venture capital investment to women-led businesses remains meager in spite of the fact that in the US and Europe an increasing number of businesses are owned by women. The apparent disparity between potential investment opportunity and actual deals made between venture capital firms and women-led businesses raises the question of whether gender is an issue. The majority of venture capital studies investigate equity funds flows, investor criteria and the nature of the investor-investee relationship. Research on women entrepreneurs focuses on psychological dimensions, business characteristics and performance. Questions about the intersection of gender and venture capital financing are largely unexamined. This exploratory study utilizes longitudinal data to track US venture capital investments by proportion, stage, industry and gender. The descriptive statistics and our analysis of the findings suggest several hypotheses to explain the apparent gender gap.},<br />

More recently, the focus of this research has broadened to examine women and venture capital. This article extends the focus further by examining the role of women in the business angel market, which is more important than the formal venture capital market in terms of both the number of ventures supported and total capital flows. Based on a detailed analysis of business angels in the U.K., the study concludes that women investors who are active in the market differ from their male counterparts in only limited respects. Future research into women business angels, and the possible existence of gender differences, needs to be based on more fully elaborated standpoint epistemologies that focus on the experience of the woman angel investor per se, and center on the examination of the role of homophily, social capital, networking, and competition in investment behavior.},<br />

abstract = {In spite of the proliferation of studies of female entrepreneurs, few researchers have attempted to directly compare female and male entrepreneurs in terms of their problems, the assistance received in addressing these problems, the value of outside consulting services, and the number of startups subsequent to counseling. Such studies are needed, not only to determine if there are differences in the problems male and female entrepreneurs face, but more importantly, to determine if any of these differences affect the successful development of new ventures. The fact that the SBA recently established a special training program for women entrepreneurs funded by a new \$10 million grant, approved by Congress in 1988 (H.R. 5050), makes the issue even more timely and pertinent. To address this issue, this article compares samples of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs who received consulting assistance from a state-level Small Business Development Center (SBDC). The two groups were compared in terms of: (1) the strategic, administrative, and operating assistance received; (2) their evaluation of the value of the consulting services; and (3) their propensity to initiate ventures after receiving SBDC assistance. The study was based on the results of two surveys of the entire population of 457 long-term pre-venture clients that received counseling from one SBDC state system between July 1, 1985, and June 30, 1987. All clients were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the kinds of assistance sought, the quality of the service received, and whether or not they subsequently went into business. We received 162 (35.4\%) usable responses, of which 94 were from males (58.0\%) and 68 were from females (42.0\%). T-tests and chi-square tests of independence and goodness-of-fit were used to test hypotheses pertaining to the assistance needs of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs. Results indicated that male and female clients of the SBDC are virtually identical in terms of their assistance needs. Females do not appear to need more assistance than males, nor do they appear to require different types of assistance. The virtually identical ratings of service value among males and females also indicates that both genders are equally satisfied with the assistance received. Taken together, these findings suggest that females suffer no significant entrepreneurial disadvantages compared to males. If they had, it would be logical to assume that females, who received the same types and amounts of assistance as males, would find such levels of service inadequate, and consequently, rate it less favorably. Furthermore, the fact that the proportion of female clients was statistically equal to the proportion of net new businesses operated by women refutes the notion that general-assistance programs such as the SBDC are not equally accessible to both genders. The fact that female client start-ups were significantly higher than their proportional representation in the region further supports this conclusion. The primary implication for public policy makers and outside consultants is that little evidence exists to warrant special treatment or special programs for females, especially at a cost of \$10 million. In terms of research implications, our results suggest that it would be better if future studies concentrated on behaviors and strategic factors affecting the performance of new ventures (whether male-or female-owned), rather than merely comparing the characteristics of the entrepreneurs who start them.},<br />

This represented a rate of increase five times greater than that for men in the same period. From 1977 to 1980 the proportion of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by women increased from 22.6 percent to 26.1 percent. In addition, the number of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by couples soared from 284,405 in 1981 to 440,000 in 1982.

abstract={Entrepreneurship contributes to economic development in countries worldwide. Entrepreneurial activity is beneficial for both men and women, including those in developing countries. However, men and women may not engage in entrepreneurship to the same extent because of differential access to (various forms of) capital. This study examines the relative importance of three types of capital – human, family and financial – in pursuing entrepreneurship. Using data collected in Turkey, we find that regardless of sex, all three forms of capital influence the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur in varying degrees. Contrary to expectations, the impact of human capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur is higher for women than men. Data also revealed that family capital facilitates women's entry into entrepreneurship only when family size is very large (i.e. seven or more). No gender differences are observed in the impact of financial capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur. Findings suggest that to encourage entrepreneurship in Turkey, policy-makers should emphasize access to human and financial capital. Furthermore, findings suggest that women's likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur will be especially encouraged if they have increased access to education, as well as the skills necessary to take advantage of their family capital.},<br />

We find that the constraint imposed by the quota caused a significant drop in the stock price at the announcement of the law and a large decline in Tobin's Q over the following years, consistent with the idea that firms choose boards to maximize value. The quota led to younger and less experienced boards, increases in leverage and acquisitions, and deterioration in operating performance.},<br />

The debate focuses on questions such as whether a corporation’s board should reflect the firm’s stakeholders or be more in line with society in general. This article uses a sample of listed Danish firms during the period of 1998–2001 in a cross sectional analysis. Despite that fact that Denmark has gone very far in the liberalisation of women, Danish board rooms are still to a large extent dominated by men. Contrary to a number of other studies, this article does not find any significant link between firm performance as measured by Tobin’s Q and female board representation. This is also the case for board members’ educational background as well as the proportion of foreigners. It is argued that board members with an unconventional background are socialised unconsciously adopting the ideas of the majority of conventional board members, which entails that a potential performance effect does not materialise.},<br />

abstract={Entrepreneurship is becoming an increasingly important source of employment for women across many countries. The level of female involvement in entrepreneurial activity, however, is still significantly lower than that of men. We take a behavioral economics approach and, using a large sample of individuals in 17 countries, we investigate what variables influence the entrepreneurial propensity of women and whether those variables have a significant correlation with differences across genders. In addition to demographic and economic variables, we include a number of perceptual variables. Our results show that subjective perceptual variables have a crucial influence on the entrepreneurial propensity of women and account for much of the difference in entrepreneurial activity between the sexes. Specifically, we find that women tend to perceive themselves and the entrepreneurial environment in a less favorable light than men across all countries in our sample and regardless of entrepreneurial motivation. Our results suggest that perceptual variables may be significant universal factors influencing entrepreneurial behavior.},<br />

abstract={Previous research into gender differences among entrepreneurs has yielded varied explanations as to why female entrepreneurs differ from male entrepreneurs. This study explores motivational differences using a sample of MBA entrepreneurs. This allows comparisons between male and female entrepreneurs, who are similar in terms of business education, educational credentials, and other important variables. Logistic regression is used to measure the relationship between career motivators and gender and between career motivators and gender adjusted for marital status and the presence of dependent children. The study concludes that differences between female and male entrepreneurs become larger if the entrepreneurs are married with dependent children.}<br />

year={2010},<br />
abstract={Women are one particularly understudied group of entrepreneurs. We know very little about female entrepreneurs, and our ignorance of this important demographic is a serious blind spot in any effort to increase the total number of entrepreneurs participating in our economy. What little we do know suggests that women are not nearly as active in the entrepreneurial space as they could be. This study attempts to address part of this knowledge gap. This based on data were collected in 2008-2009 from 549 respondents from randomly selected high-tech companies who were invited to participate. It compares the backgrounds, and experiences and motivations of men and women entrepreneurs. Our findings show that successful women and men entrepreneurs are similar in almost every respect. They had equivalent levels of education (slightly less than half earned graduate degrees), early interest in starting their own business (about half had at least some interest), a strong desire to build wealth or capitalize on a business idea, access to funding, and they largely agreed on the top issues and challenges facing any entrepreneur. The data also identify some small but potentially informative gender differences among successful entrepreneurs. For instance, motivations for starting a business differed slightly between men and women. The latter were more likely to cite a business partner’s encouragement as a key incentive to take the plunge. Women also were more likely than men to get early funding from their business partners.}<br />

abstract = {In recent years the number of women-owned firms with employees has expanded at three times the rate of all employer firms. Yet women remain underrepresented in their proportion of high-growth firms. A number of plausible explanations exist. To develop richer insights, a two-stage research project was undertaken. A mail survey was sent to a sample of female entrepreneurs to assess motives, obstacles, goals and aspirations, needs, and business identity. Based on the survey results, follow-up, in-depth interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs, selecting equally from modest-growth and high-growth ventures. In terms of quantitative findings, growth orientation was associated with whether a woman was “pushed” or “pulled” into entrepreneurship, was motivated by wealth or achievement factors, had a strong women's identity in the venture, had equity partners, and believed women faced unique selling obstacles. The qualitative research made clear that modest- and high-growth entrepreneurs differ in how they view themselves, their families, their ventures, and the larger environment. The results of both stages suggest that growth is a deliberate choice and that women have a clear sense of the costs and benefits of growth and make careful trade-off decisions.},<br />

abstract = {Despite the increasing number of women who are starting businesses, distinct hurdles exist for them. For instance, there is a lower occurrence of females as business owners and a paucity of academic research on the topic of female entrepreneurs. Another major hurdle is the presence of "derogatory myths" like those specified in the U.S. Diana Project. A random sample of nascent entrepreneurs in Canada is utilized to examine these myths about women entrepreneurs. Although many of the myths were unsubstantiated, the findings show that perhaps women do not have the right educational background to start large businesses and they may be starting businesses unattractive to venture capitalists. These findings are a clear wake-up call for the implementation of new programs and policies to increase the number of females studying computer and engineering sciences and to encourage and nurture a higher incidence of females as lead entrepreneurs.

The process of equity investment and ultimate harvesting of innovative companies has created significant wealth among fund investors, venture capitalists, angels and new entrepreneurs. Extensive research investigates all phases of the venture capital investment process, industry characteristics and returns to investors. Surprisingly absent from current research are studies including women, on both the supply (equity provider) and demand (equity seeker) sides. Women make significant contributions to the US economy in the workforce and as business owners, yet research about women as recipients of equity capital and providers of equity is extremely scarce. This raises a question–are women being left out of the wealth creation process? Our paper addresses this question by exploring women's role in supply and demand of equity capital. We utilize a social capital perspective to develop a conceptual framework and focus our analysis on early stage and angel investment. The paper concludes with directions for future research.},<br />

abstract = {The number of women entrepreneurs is rising rapidly and many are creating substantial businesses. For most women-led ventures, growth is funded by personal investment and debt, although a small percentage draw on private equity investment to fuel high growth. Of those that seek growth, not only do they face higher obstacles in obtaining capital, but little is known about ways they position ventures for growth. This paper addresses the question: ‘How do women develop financing strategies to prove the business concept, meet early stage milestones, and demonstrate to external investors the value and potential of their businesses?’ Data are drawn from phone interviews with 88 US female entrepreneurs seeking an equity investment to grow their businesses. The analysis examines the correspondence between bootstrapping and stage of business development. Results show significant differences in the use of bootstrap options utilized by women-led ventures depending on stage of business development. Companies that have not achieved sales were more likely to emphasize bootstrapping to reduce labour, while those companies with greater sales were more likely to minimize cost of operations. Implications for future research and education are suggested.},<br />

abstract = {During the last two decades, researchers have sought to develop categories of entrepreneurs and their businesses along a variety of dimensions to better comprehend and analyze the entrepreneurial growth process. Some of this research has focused on differences related to industrial sectors, firm size, the geographical region in which a business is located, the use of high-technology or low-technology, and the life-cycle stage of the firm (i.e., start-up vs. more mature, formalized companies). Researchers have also considered ways in which entrepreneurs can be differentiated from small business managers. One of these classifications is based on the entrepreneur's desire to grow the business rapidly. This is the focus of our study. To date, the media have paid considerable attention to rapidly growing new ventures. However, still lacking are large-scale research studies guided by theory through which we can expand our knowledge of the underlying factors supporting ambitious expansion plans. Some research has identified factors that enhance or reduce the willingness of the entrepreneur to grow the business. Factors include the strategic origin of the business (i.e., the methods and paths through which the firm was founded); previous experience of the founder/owner; and the ability of the entrepreneur to set realistic, measurable goals and to manage conflict effectively. Our study attempted to identify the strategic paths chosen by entrepreneurs and the relation of those paths to the growth orientation of the firm. The entrepreneurs sampled in this study are women entrepreneurs across a wide range of industrial sectors. Recent reviews of entrepreneurship research have suggested the need for more studies comparing high-growth firms with slower-growth firms to better delineate their differences in strategic choices and behaviors. Our study sought to answer the following questions: What characterizes a “high growth-oriented entrepreneur?” Is this distinction associated with specific strategic intentions, prior experience, equity held in previous firms, the type of company structure in place, or success factors the entrepreneur perceives are important to the business? Do “high growth” entrepreneurs show greater entrepreneurial “intensity” (i.e., commitment to the firm's success)? Are they willing to “pay the price” for their own and their firm's success? (i.e., the “opportunity costs” associated with business success and growth). Other relationships under investigation included different patterns of financing the business' start-up and early growth. Do “high-growth” entrepreneurs use unique sources of funding compared with “lower-growth” entrepreneurs? Eight hundred thirty-two entrepreneurs responded to a survey in which they were asked to describe their growth intentions along nineteen strategic dimensions, as well as respond to the foregoing questions. Some of the strategic activity measures included adding a new product or service, expanding operations, selling to a new market, and applying for a loan to expand operations. Actual growth rates based on sales revenues were calculated, and average annualized growth rates of the industrial sectors represented in the sample were obtained. This study showed that high-growth-oriented entrepreneurs were clearly different from low-growth-oriented entrepreneurs along several dimensions. The former were much more likely to select strategies for their firms that permitted greater focus on market expansion and new technologies, to exhibit greater intensity towards business ownership (“my business is the most important activity in my life”), and to be willing to incur greater opportunity costs for the success of their firms (“I would rather own my own business than earn a higher salary while employed by someone else”). The high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs tended to have a more structured approach to organizing their businesses, which suggests a more disciplined perception of managing the firm. In summary, results showed the group of high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs, labeled “ambitious,” as having the following distinctions: strategic intentions that emphasize market growth and technological change, stronger commitment to the success of the business, greater willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the business, earlier planning for the growth of the business, utilization of a team-based form of organization design, concern for reputation and quality, adequate capitalization, strong leadership, and utilization of a wider range of financing sources for the expansion of the venture. The purpose in uncovering these differences is to enable entrepreneurs and researchers to identify more clearly the attributes of rapid-growth ventures and their founders and to move closer to a field-based model of the entrepreneurial growth process which will help delineate the alternative paths to venture growth and organizational change.},<br />

abstract = {Since the early 1980s, new ventures with high growth potential and large capital needs have found an ever-increasing pool of venture capital available to support their growth. However, the flow of venture capital investment to women-led businesses remains meager in spite of the fact that in the US and Europe an increasing number of businesses are owned by women. The apparent disparity between potential investment opportunity and actual deals made between venture capital firms and women-led businesses raises the question of whether gender is an issue. The majority of venture capital studies investigate equity funds flows, investor criteria and the nature of the investor-investee relationship. Research on women entrepreneurs focuses on psychological dimensions, business characteristics and performance. Questions about the intersection of gender and venture capital financing are largely unexamined. This exploratory study utilizes longitudinal data to track US venture capital investments by proportion, stage, industry and gender. The descriptive statistics and our analysis of the findings suggest several hypotheses to explain the apparent gender gap.},<br />

More recently, the focus of this research has broadened to examine women and venture capital. This article extends the focus further by examining the role of women in the business angel market, which is more important than the formal venture capital market in terms of both the number of ventures supported and total capital flows. Based on a detailed analysis of business angels in the U.K., the study concludes that women investors who are active in the market differ from their male counterparts in only limited respects. Future research into women business angels, and the possible existence of gender differences, needs to be based on more fully elaborated standpoint epistemologies that focus on the experience of the woman angel investor per se, and center on the examination of the role of homophily, social capital, networking, and competition in investment behavior.},<br />

abstract = {In spite of the proliferation of studies of female entrepreneurs, few researchers have attempted to directly compare female and male entrepreneurs in terms of their problems, the assistance received in addressing these problems, the value of outside consulting services, and the number of startups subsequent to counseling. Such studies are needed, not only to determine if there are differences in the problems male and female entrepreneurs face, but more importantly, to determine if any of these differences affect the successful development of new ventures. The fact that the SBA recently established a special training program for women entrepreneurs funded by a new \$10 million grant, approved by Congress in 1988 (H.R. 5050), makes the issue even more timely and pertinent. To address this issue, this article compares samples of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs who received consulting assistance from a state-level Small Business Development Center (SBDC). The two groups were compared in terms of: (1) the strategic, administrative, and operating assistance received; (2) their evaluation of the value of the consulting services; and (3) their propensity to initiate ventures after receiving SBDC assistance. The study was based on the results of two surveys of the entire population of 457 long-term pre-venture clients that received counseling from one SBDC state system between July 1, 1985, and June 30, 1987. All clients were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the kinds of assistance sought, the quality of the service received, and whether or not they subsequently went into business. We received 162 (35.4\%) usable responses, of which 94 were from males (58.0\%) and 68 were from females (42.0\%). T-tests and chi-square tests of independence and goodness-of-fit were used to test hypotheses pertaining to the assistance needs of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs. Results indicated that male and female clients of the SBDC are virtually identical in terms of their assistance needs. Females do not appear to need more assistance than males, nor do they appear to require different types of assistance. The virtually identical ratings of service value among males and females also indicates that both genders are equally satisfied with the assistance received. Taken together, these findings suggest that females suffer no significant entrepreneurial disadvantages compared to males. If they had, it would be logical to assume that females, who received the same types and amounts of assistance as males, would find such levels of service inadequate, and consequently, rate it less favorably. Furthermore, the fact that the proportion of female clients was statistically equal to the proportion of net new businesses operated by women refutes the notion that general-assistance programs such as the SBDC are not equally accessible to both genders. The fact that female client start-ups were significantly higher than their proportional representation in the region further supports this conclusion. The primary implication for public policy makers and outside consultants is that little evidence exists to warrant special treatment or special programs for females, especially at a cost of \$10 million. In terms of research implications, our results suggest that it would be better if future studies concentrated on behaviors and strategic factors affecting the performance of new ventures (whether male-or female-owned), rather than merely comparing the characteristics of the entrepreneurs who start them.},<br />

page={595-621}<br />
abstract={Research articles on women's entrepreneurship reveal, in spite of intentions to the contrary and in spite of inconclusive research results, a tendency to recreate the idea of women as being secondary to men and of women's businesses being of less significance or, at best, as being a complement. Based on a discourse analysis, this article discusses what research practices cause these results. It suggests new research directions that do not reproduce women's subordination but capture more and richer aspects of women's entrepreneurship.},<br />

author={Scott, Carole E.},<br />
journal={Journal of Small Business Management}<br />
abstract={From 1972 to 1982 the number of self-employed women in the United States increased by 69 percent. This represented a rate of increase five times greater than that for men in the same period. From 1977 to 1980 the proportion of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by women increased from 22.6 percent to 26.1 percent. In addition, the number of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by couples soared from 284,405 in 1981 to 440,000 in 1982. To find out why women are turning to entrepreneurship in increasing numbers, two surveys were conducted: one of women entrepreneurs in the state of Georgia, and another of both male and female entrepreneurs in the Atlanta area for purposes of comparison.},<br />

Says number of self employed women skyrocked between 1972-1982 (of course, this could just be because more women were entering the workplace in general during this time).<br />

volume={24}<br />

year={2011}<br />
abstract={Entrepreneurship contributes to economic development in countries worldwide. Entrepreneurial activity is beneficial for both men and women, including those in developing countries. However, men and women may not engage in entrepreneurship to the same extent because of differential access to (various forms of) capital. This study examines the relative importance of three types of capital – human, family and financial – in pursuing entrepreneurship. Using data collected in Turkey, we find that regardless of sex, all three forms of capital influence the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur in varying degrees. Contrary to expectations, the impact of human capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur is higher for women than men. Data also revealed that family capital facilitates women's entry into entrepreneurship only when family size is very large (i.e. seven or more). No gender differences are observed in the impact of financial capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur. Findings suggest that to encourage entrepreneurship in Turkey, policy-makers should emphasize access to human and financial capital. Furthermore, findings suggest that women's likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur will be especially encouraged if they have increased access to education, as well as the skills necessary to take advantage of their family capital.},<br />

abstract={In 2003, a new law required that 40% of Norwegian firms' directors be women—at the time only 9% of directors were women. We use the prequota cross-sectional variation in female board representation to instrument for exogenous changes to corporate boards following the quota. We find that the constraint imposed by the quota caused a significant drop in the stock price at the announcement of the law and a large decline in Tobin's Q over the following years, consistent with the idea that firms choose boards to maximize value. The quota led to younger and less experienced boards, increases in leverage and acquisitions, and deterioration in operating performance.},<br />

We find no evidence that female boardroom representation influences equity risk. We also show that findings of a negative relationship between the two variables are spurious and driven by unobserved between-firm heterogeneous factors.},<br />

abstract={Board diversity has become a major issue within corporate governance where a number of studies seek to explore the impact of diversity on firm performance. The debate focuses on questions such as whether a corporation’s board should reflect the firm’s stakeholders or be more in line with society in general. This article uses a sample of listed Danish firms during the period of 1998–2001 in a cross sectional analysis. Despite that fact that Denmark has gone very far in the liberalisation of women, Danish board rooms are still to a large extent dominated by men. Contrary to a number of other studies, this article does not find any significant link between firm performance as measured by Tobin’s Q and female board representation. This is also the case for board members’ educational background as well as the proportion of foreigners. It is argued that board members with an unconventional background are socialised unconsciously adopting the ideas of the majority of conventional board members, which entails that a potential performance effect does not materialise.},<br />

abstract={Entrepreneurship is becoming an increasingly important source of employment for women across many countries. The level of female involvement in entrepreneurial activity, however, is still significantly lower than that of men. We take a behavioral economics approach and, using a large sample of individuals in 17 countries, we investigate what variables influence the entrepreneurial propensity of women and whether those variables have a significant correlation with differences across genders. In addition to demographic and economic variables, we include a number of perceptual variables. Our results show that subjective perceptual variables have a crucial influence on the entrepreneurial propensity of women and account for much of the difference in entrepreneurial activity between the sexes. Specifically, we find that women tend to perceive themselves and the entrepreneurial environment in a less favorable light than men across all countries in our sample and regardless of entrepreneurial motivation. Our results suggest that perceptual variables may be significant universal factors influencing entrepreneurial behavior.},<br />

Logistic regression is used to measure the relationship between career motivators and gender and between career motivators and gender adjusted for marital status and the presence of dependent children.

year={2010},<br />
abstract={Women are one particularly understudied group of entrepreneurs. We know very little about female entrepreneurs, and our ignorance of this important demographic is a serious blind spot in any effort to increase the total number of entrepreneurs participating in our economy. What little we do know suggests that women are not nearly as active in the entrepreneurial space as they could be. This study attempts to address part of this knowledge gap. This based on data were collected in 2008-2009 from 549 respondents from randomly selected high-tech companies who were invited to participate. It compares the backgrounds, and experiences and motivations of men and women entrepreneurs. Our findings show that successful women and men entrepreneurs are similar in almost every respect. They had equivalent levels of education (slightly less than half earned graduate degrees), early interest in starting their own business (about half had at least some interest), a strong desire to build wealth or capitalize on a business idea, access to funding, and they largely agreed on the top issues and challenges facing any entrepreneur. The data also identify some small but potentially informative gender differences among successful entrepreneurs. For instance, motivations for starting a business differed slightly between men and women. The latter were more likely to cite a business partner’s encouragement as a key incentive to take the plunge. Women also were more likely than men to get early funding from their business partners.}<br />

abstract = {In recent years the number of women-owned firms with employees has expanded at three times the rate of all employer firms. Yet women remain underrepresented in their proportion of high-growth firms. A number of plausible explanations exist. To develop richer insights, a two-stage research project was undertaken. A mail survey was sent to a sample of female entrepreneurs to assess motives, obstacles, goals and aspirations, needs, and business identity. Based on the survey results, follow-up, in-depth interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs, selecting equally from modest-growth and high-growth ventures. In terms of quantitative findings, growth orientation was associated with whether a woman was “pushed” or “pulled” into entrepreneurship, was motivated by wealth or achievement factors, had a strong women's identity in the venture, had equity partners, and believed women faced unique selling obstacles. The qualitative research made clear that modest- and high-growth entrepreneurs differ in how they view themselves, their families, their ventures, and the larger environment. The results of both stages suggest that growth is a deliberate choice and that women have a clear sense of the costs and benefits of growth and make careful trade-off decisions.},<br />

abstract = {Despite the increasing number of women who are starting businesses, distinct hurdles exist for them. For instance, there is a lower occurrence of females as business owners and a paucity of academic research on the topic of female entrepreneurs. Another major hurdle is the presence of "derogatory myths" like those specified in the U.S. Diana Project. A random sample of nascent entrepreneurs in Canada is utilized to examine these myths about women entrepreneurs. Although many of the myths were unsubstantiated, the findings show that perhaps women do not have the right educational background to start large businesses and they may be starting businesses unattractive to venture capitalists. These findings are a clear wake-up call for the implementation of new programs and policies to increase the number of females studying computer and engineering sciences and to encourage and nurture a higher incidence of females as lead entrepreneurs.

abstract = {Equity capital fuels growth companies and yields high returns for investors. The process of equity investment and ultimate harvesting of innovative companies has created significant wealth among fund investors, venture capitalists, angels and new entrepreneurs. Extensive research investigates all phases of the venture capital investment process, industry characteristics and returns to investors. Surprisingly absent from current research are studies including women, on both the supply (equity provider) and demand (equity seeker) sides. Women make significant contributions to the US economy in the workforce and as business owners, yet research about women as recipients of equity capital and providers of equity is extremely scarce. This raises a question–are women being left out of the wealth creation process? Our paper addresses this question by exploring women's role in supply and demand of equity capital. We utilize a social capital perspective to develop a conceptual framework and focus our analysis on early stage and angel investment. The paper concludes with directions for future research.},<br />

abstract = {The number of women entrepreneurs is rising rapidly and many are creating substantial businesses. For most women-led ventures, growth is funded by personal investment and debt, although a small percentage draw on private equity investment to fuel high growth. Of those that seek growth, not only do they face higher obstacles in obtaining capital, but little is known about ways they position ventures for growth. This paper addresses the question: ‘How do women develop financing strategies to prove the business concept, meet early stage milestones, and demonstrate to external investors the value and potential of their businesses?’ Data are drawn from phone interviews with 88 US female entrepreneurs seeking an equity investment to grow their businesses. The analysis examines the correspondence between bootstrapping and stage of business development. Results show significant differences in the use of bootstrap options utilized by women-led ventures depending on stage of business development. Companies that have not achieved sales were more likely to emphasize bootstrapping to reduce labour, while those companies with greater sales were more likely to minimize cost of operations. Implications for future research and education are suggested.},<br />

abstract = {During the last two decades, researchers have sought to develop categories of entrepreneurs and their businesses along a variety of dimensions to better comprehend and analyze the entrepreneurial growth process. Some of this research has focused on differences related to industrial sectors, firm size, the geographical region in which a business is located, the use of high-technology or low-technology, and the life-cycle stage of the firm (i.e., start-up vs. more mature, formalized companies). Researchers have also considered ways in which entrepreneurs can be differentiated from small business managers. One of these classifications is based on the entrepreneur's desire to grow the business rapidly. This is the focus of our study. To date, the media have paid considerable attention to rapidly growing new ventures. However, still lacking are large-scale research studies guided by theory through which we can expand our knowledge of the underlying factors supporting ambitious expansion plans. Some research has identified factors that enhance or reduce the willingness of the entrepreneur to grow the business. Factors include the strategic origin of the business (i.e., the methods and paths through which the firm was founded); previous experience of the founder/owner; and the ability of the entrepreneur to set realistic, measurable goals and to manage conflict effectively. Our study attempted to identify the strategic paths chosen by entrepreneurs and the relation of those paths to the growth orientation of the firm. The entrepreneurs sampled in this study are women entrepreneurs across a wide range of industrial sectors. Recent reviews of entrepreneurship research have suggested the need for more studies comparing high-growth firms with slower-growth firms to better delineate their differences in strategic choices and behaviors. Our study sought to answer the following questions: What characterizes a “high growth-oriented entrepreneur?” Is this distinction associated with specific strategic intentions, prior experience, equity held in previous firms, the type of company structure in place, or success factors the entrepreneur perceives are important to the business? Do “high growth” entrepreneurs show greater entrepreneurial “intensity” (i.e., commitment to the firm's success)? Are they willing to “pay the price” for their own and their firm's success? (i.e., the “opportunity costs” associated with business success and growth). Other relationships under investigation included different patterns of financing the business' start-up and early growth. Do “high-growth” entrepreneurs use unique sources of funding compared with “lower-growth” entrepreneurs? Eight hundred thirty-two entrepreneurs responded to a survey in which they were asked to describe their growth intentions along nineteen strategic dimensions, as well as respond to the foregoing questions. Some of the strategic activity measures included adding a new product or service, expanding operations, selling to a new market, and applying for a loan to expand operations. Actual growth rates based on sales revenues were calculated, and average annualized growth rates of the industrial sectors represented in the sample were obtained. This study showed that high-growth-oriented entrepreneurs were clearly different from low-growth-oriented entrepreneurs along several dimensions. The former were much more likely to select strategies for their firms that permitted greater focus on market expansion and new technologies, to exhibit greater intensity towards business ownership (“my business is the most important activity in my life”), and to be willing to incur greater opportunity costs for the success of their firms (“I would rather own my own business than earn a higher salary while employed by someone else”). The high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs tended to have a more structured approach to organizing their businesses, which suggests a more disciplined perception of managing the firm. In summary, results showed the group of high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs, labeled “ambitious,” as having the following distinctions: strategic intentions that emphasize market growth and technological change, stronger commitment to the success of the business, greater willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the business, earlier planning for the growth of the business, utilization of a team-based form of organization design, concern for reputation and quality, adequate capitalization, strong leadership, and utilization of a wider range of financing sources for the expansion of the venture. The purpose in uncovering these differences is to enable entrepreneurs and researchers to identify more clearly the attributes of rapid-growth ventures and their founders and to move closer to a field-based model of the entrepreneurial growth process which will help delineate the alternative paths to venture growth and organizational change.},<br />

However, the flow of venture capital investment to women-led businesses remains meager in spite of the fact that in the US and Europe an increasing number of businesses are owned by women. The apparent disparity between potential investment opportunity and actual deals made between venture capital firms and women-led businesses raises the question of whether gender is an issue. The majority of venture capital studies investigate equity funds flows, investor criteria and the nature of the investor-investee relationship. Research on women entrepreneurs focuses on psychological dimensions, business characteristics and performance. Questions about the intersection of gender and venture capital financing are largely unexamined. This exploratory study utilizes longitudinal data to track US venture capital investments by proportion, stage, industry and gender.

Utilizing the resource-based theory of competitive advantage, as well as stakeholder and diversity arguments, we hypothesize that firms employing greater percentages of women managers at the general management, top management, and board of director levels will experience relatively better financial performance. Examining data from the Wall Street Journal for 200 large firms, we find positive relationships between the firm's total percentage of women managers and ROS, ROA, ROI, and ROE. High percentages of women top managers and board members did not predict performance.},<br />

More recently, the focus of this research has broadened to examine women and venture capital. This article extends the focus further by examining the role of women in the business angel market, which is more important than the formal venture capital market in terms of both the number of ventures supported and total capital flows. Based on a detailed analysis of business angels in the U.K., the study concludes that women investors who are active in the market differ from their male counterparts in only limited respects. Future research into women business angels, and the possible existence of gender differences, needs to be based on more fully elaborated standpoint epistemologies that focus on the experience of the woman angel investor per se, and center on the examination of the role of homophily, social capital, networking, and competition in investment behavior.},<br />

abstract = {In spite of the proliferation of studies of female entrepreneurs, few researchers have attempted to directly compare female and male entrepreneurs in terms of their problems, the assistance received in addressing these problems, the value of outside consulting services, and the number of startups subsequent to counseling. Such studies are needed, not only to determine if there are differences in the problems male and female entrepreneurs face, but more importantly, to determine if any of these differences affect the successful development of new ventures. The fact that the SBA recently established a special training program for women entrepreneurs funded by a new \$10 million grant, approved by Congress in 1988 (H.R. 5050), makes the issue even more timely and pertinent. To address this issue, this article compares samples of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs who received consulting assistance from a state-level Small Business Development Center (SBDC). The two groups were compared in terms of: (1) the strategic, administrative, and operating assistance received; (2) their evaluation of the value of the consulting services; and (3) their propensity to initiate ventures after receiving SBDC assistance. The study was based on the results of two surveys of the entire population of 457 long-term pre-venture clients that received counseling from one SBDC state system between July 1, 1985, and June 30, 1987. All clients were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the kinds of assistance sought, the quality of the service received, and whether or not they subsequently went into business. We received 162 (35.4\%) usable responses, of which 94 were from males (58.0\%) and 68 were from females (42.0\%). T-tests and chi-square tests of independence and goodness-of-fit were used to test hypotheses pertaining to the assistance needs of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs. Results indicated that male and female clients of the SBDC are virtually identical in terms of their assistance needs. Females do not appear to need more assistance than males, nor do they appear to require different types of assistance. The virtually identical ratings of service value among males and females also indicates that both genders are equally satisfied with the assistance received. Taken together, these findings suggest that females suffer no significant entrepreneurial disadvantages compared to males. If they had, it would be logical to assume that females, who received the same types and amounts of assistance as males, would find such levels of service inadequate, and consequently, rate it less favorably. Furthermore, the fact that the proportion of female clients was statistically equal to the proportion of net new businesses operated by women refutes the notion that general-assistance programs such as the SBDC are not equally accessible to both genders. The fact that female client start-ups were significantly higher than their proportional representation in the region further supports this conclusion. The primary implication for public policy makers and outside consultants is that little evidence exists to warrant special treatment or special programs for females, especially at a cost of \$10 million. In terms of research implications, our results suggest that it would be better if future studies concentrated on behaviors and strategic factors affecting the performance of new ventures (whether male-or female-owned), rather than merely comparing the characteristics of the entrepreneurs who start them.},<br />

This represented a rate of increase five times greater than that for men in the same period. From 1977 to 1980 the proportion of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by women increased from 22.6 percent to 26.1 percent. In addition, the number of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by couples soared from 284,405 in 1981 to 440,000 in 1982.

abstract={Entrepreneurship contributes to economic development in countries worldwide. Entrepreneurial activity is beneficial for both men and women, including those in developing countries. However, men and women may not engage in entrepreneurship to the same extent because of differential access to (various forms of) capital. This study examines the relative importance of three types of capital – human, family and financial – in pursuing entrepreneurship. Using data collected in Turkey, we find that regardless of sex, all three forms of capital influence the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur in varying degrees. Contrary to expectations, the impact of human capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur is higher for women than men. Data also revealed that family capital facilitates women's entry into entrepreneurship only when family size is very large (i.e. seven or more). No gender differences are observed in the impact of financial capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur. Findings suggest that to encourage entrepreneurship in Turkey, policy-makers should emphasize access to human and financial capital. Furthermore, findings suggest that women's likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur will be especially encouraged if they have increased access to education, as well as the skills necessary to take advantage of their family capital.},<br />

We find that the constraint imposed by the quota caused a significant drop in the stock price at the announcement of the law and a large decline in Tobin's Q over the following years, consistent with the idea that firms choose boards to maximize value. The quota led to younger and less experienced boards, increases in leverage and acquisitions, and deterioration in operating performance.},<br />

This article uses a sample of listed Danish firms during the period of 1998–2001 in a cross sectional analysis. Despite that fact that Denmark has gone very far in the liberalisation of women, Danish board rooms are still to a large extent dominated by men. Contrary to a number of other studies, this article does not find any significant link between firm performance as measured by Tobin’s Q and female board representation. This is also the case for board members’ educational background as well as the proportion of foreigners. It is argued that board members with an unconventional background are socialised unconsciously adopting the ideas of the majority of conventional board members, which entails that a potential performance effect does not materialise.},<br />

The level of female involvement in entrepreneurial activity, however, is still significantly lower than that of men. We take a behavioral economics approach and, using a large sample of individuals in 17 countries, we investigate what variables influence the entrepreneurial propensity of women and whether those variables have a significant correlation with differences across genders. In addition to demographic and economic variables, we include a number of perceptual variables. Our results show that subjective perceptual variables have a crucial influence on the entrepreneurial propensity of women and account for much of the difference in entrepreneurial activity between the sexes. Specifically, we find that women tend to perceive themselves and the entrepreneurial environment in a less favorable light than men across all countries in our sample and regardless of entrepreneurial motivation. Our results suggest that perceptual variables may be significant universal factors influencing entrepreneurial behavior.},<br />

abstract={Women are one particularly understudied group of entrepreneurs. We know very little about female entrepreneurs, and our ignorance of this important demographic is a serious blind spot in any effort to increase the total number of entrepreneurs participating in our economy. What little we do know suggests that women are not nearly as active in the entrepreneurial space as they could be. This study attempts to address part of this knowledge gap. This based on data were collected in 2008-2009 from 549 respondents from randomly selected high-tech companies who were invited to participate. It compares the backgrounds, and experiences and motivations of men and women entrepreneurs. Our findings show that successful women and men entrepreneurs are similar in almost every respect. They had equivalent levels of education (slightly less than half earned graduate degrees), early interest in starting their own business (about half had at least some interest), a strong desire to build wealth or capitalize on a business idea, access to funding, and they largely agreed on the top issues and challenges facing any entrepreneur. The data also identify some small but potentially informative gender differences among successful entrepreneurs. For instance, motivations for starting a business differed slightly between men and women. The latter were more likely to cite a business partner’s encouragement as a key incentive to take the plunge. Women also were more likely than men to get early funding from their business partners.}<br />

Yet women remain underrepresented in their proportion of high-growth firms. A number of plausible explanations exist. To develop richer insights, a two-stage research project was undertaken. A mail survey was sent to a sample of female entrepreneurs to assess motives, obstacles, goals and aspirations, needs, and business identity. Based on the survey results, follow-up, in-depth interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs, selecting equally from modest-growth and high-growth ventures. In terms of quantitative findings, growth orientation was associated with whether a woman was “pushed” or “pulled” into entrepreneurship, was motivated by wealth or achievement factors, had a strong women's identity in the venture, had equity partners, and believed women faced unique selling obstacles. The qualitative research made clear that modest- and high-growth entrepreneurs differ in how they view themselves, their families, their ventures, and the larger environment. The results of both stages suggest that growth is a deliberate choice and that women have a clear sense of the costs and benefits of growth and make careful trade-off decisions.},<br />

abstract = {Despite the increasing number of women who are starting businesses, distinct hurdles exist for them. For instance, there is a lower occurrence of females as business owners and a paucity of academic research on the topic of female entrepreneurs. Another major hurdle is the presence of "derogatory myths" like those specified in the U.S. Diana Project. A random sample of nascent entrepreneurs in Canada is utilized to examine these myths about women entrepreneurs. Although many of the myths were unsubstantiated, the findings show that perhaps women do not have the right educational background to start large businesses and they may be starting businesses unattractive to venture capitalists. These findings are a clear wake-up call for the implementation of new programs and policies to increase the number of females studying computer and engineering sciences and to encourage and nurture a higher incidence of females as lead entrepreneurs.

abstract = {Equity capital fuels growth companies and yields high returns for investors. The process of equity investment and ultimate harvesting of innovative companies has created significant wealth among fund investors, venture capitalists, angels and new entrepreneurs. Extensive research investigates all phases of the venture capital investment process, industry characteristics and returns to investors. Surprisingly absent from current research are studies including women, on both the supply (equity provider) and demand (equity seeker) sides. Women make significant contributions to the US economy in the workforce and as business owners, yet research about women as recipients of equity capital and providers of equity is extremely scarce. This raises a question–are women being left out of the wealth creation process? Our paper addresses this question by exploring women's role in supply and demand of equity capital. We utilize a social capital perspective to develop a conceptual framework and focus our analysis on early stage and angel investment. The paper concludes with directions for future research.},<br />

abstract = {The number of women entrepreneurs is rising rapidly and many are creating substantial businesses. For most women-led ventures, growth is funded by personal investment and debt, although a small percentage draw on private equity investment to fuel high growth. Of those that seek growth, not only do they face higher obstacles in obtaining capital, but little is known about ways they position ventures for growth. This paper addresses the question: ‘How do women develop financing strategies to prove the business concept, meet early stage milestones, and demonstrate to external investors the value and potential of their businesses?’ Data are drawn from phone interviews with 88 US female entrepreneurs seeking an equity investment to grow their businesses. The analysis examines the correspondence between bootstrapping and stage of business development. Results show significant differences in the use of bootstrap options utilized by women-led ventures depending on stage of business development. Companies that have not achieved sales were more likely to emphasize bootstrapping to reduce labour, while those companies with greater sales were more likely to minimize cost of operations. Implications for future research and education are suggested.},<br />

abstract = {During the last two decades, researchers have sought to develop categories of entrepreneurs and their businesses along a variety of dimensions to better comprehend and analyze the entrepreneurial growth process. Some of this research has focused on differences related to industrial sectors, firm size, the geographical region in which a business is located, the use of high-technology or low-technology, and the life-cycle stage of the firm (i.e., start-up vs. more mature, formalized companies). Researchers have also considered ways in which entrepreneurs can be differentiated from small business managers. One of these classifications is based on the entrepreneur's desire to grow the business rapidly. This is the focus of our study. To date, the media have paid considerable attention to rapidly growing new ventures. However, still lacking are large-scale research studies guided by theory through which we can expand our knowledge of the underlying factors supporting ambitious expansion plans. Some research has identified factors that enhance or reduce the willingness of the entrepreneur to grow the business. Factors include the strategic origin of the business (i.e., the methods and paths through which the firm was founded); previous experience of the founder/owner; and the ability of the entrepreneur to set realistic, measurable goals and to manage conflict effectively. Our study attempted to identify the strategic paths chosen by entrepreneurs and the relation of those paths to the growth orientation of the firm. The entrepreneurs sampled in this study are women entrepreneurs across a wide range of industrial sectors. Recent reviews of entrepreneurship research have suggested the need for more studies comparing high-growth firms with slower-growth firms to better delineate their differences in strategic choices and behaviors. Our study sought to answer the following questions: What characterizes a “high growth-oriented entrepreneur?” Is this distinction associated with specific strategic intentions, prior experience, equity held in previous firms, the type of company structure in place, or success factors the entrepreneur perceives are important to the business? Do “high growth” entrepreneurs show greater entrepreneurial “intensity” (i.e., commitment to the firm's success)? Are they willing to “pay the price” for their own and their firm's success? (i.e., the “opportunity costs” associated with business success and growth). Other relationships under investigation included different patterns of financing the business' start-up and early growth. Do “high-growth” entrepreneurs use unique sources of funding compared with “lower-growth” entrepreneurs? Eight hundred thirty-two entrepreneurs responded to a survey in which they were asked to describe their growth intentions along nineteen strategic dimensions, as well as respond to the foregoing questions. Some of the strategic activity measures included adding a new product or service, expanding operations, selling to a new market, and applying for a loan to expand operations. Actual growth rates based on sales revenues were calculated, and average annualized growth rates of the industrial sectors represented in the sample were obtained. This study showed that high-growth-oriented entrepreneurs were clearly different from low-growth-oriented entrepreneurs along several dimensions. The former were much more likely to select strategies for their firms that permitted greater focus on market expansion and new technologies, to exhibit greater intensity towards business ownership (“my business is the most important activity in my life”), and to be willing to incur greater opportunity costs for the success of their firms (“I would rather own my own business than earn a higher salary while employed by someone else”). The high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs tended to have a more structured approach to organizing their businesses, which suggests a more disciplined perception of managing the firm. In summary, results showed the group of high-growth–oriented entrepreneurs, labeled “ambitious,” as having the following distinctions: strategic intentions that emphasize market growth and technological change, stronger commitment to the success of the business, greater willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the business, earlier planning for the growth of the business, utilization of a team-based form of organization design, concern for reputation and quality, adequate capitalization, strong leadership, and utilization of a wider range of financing sources for the expansion of the venture. The purpose in uncovering these differences is to enable entrepreneurs and researchers to identify more clearly the attributes of rapid-growth ventures and their founders and to move closer to a field-based model of the entrepreneurial growth process which will help delineate the alternative paths to venture growth and organizational change.},<br />

However, the flow of venture capital investment to women-led businesses remains meager in spite of the fact that in the US and Europe an increasing number of businesses are owned by women. The apparent disparity between potential investment opportunity and actual deals made between venture capital firms and women-led businesses raises the question of whether gender is an issue. The majority of venture capital studies investigate equity funds flows, investor criteria and the nature of the investor-investee relationship. Research on women entrepreneurs focuses on psychological dimensions, business characteristics and performance. Questions about the intersection of gender and venture capital financing are largely unexamined. This exploratory study utilizes longitudinal data to track US venture capital investments by proportion, stage, industry and gender.

abstract = {There is a substantial literature on the relationship between gender and access to finance. However, most studies have been concerned with access to debt finance. More recently, the focus of this research has broadened to examine women and venture capital. This article extends the focus further by examining the role of women in the business angel market, which is more important than the formal venture capital market in terms of both the number of ventures supported and total capital flows. Based on a detailed analysis of business angels in the U.K., the study concludes that women investors who are active in the market differ from their male counterparts in only limited respects. Future research into women business angels, and the possible existence of gender differences, needs to be based on more fully elaborated standpoint epistemologies that focus on the experience of the woman angel investor per se, and center on the examination of the role of homophily, social capital, networking, and competition in investment behavior.},<br />

abstract = {In spite of the proliferation of studies of female entrepreneurs, few researchers have attempted to directly compare female and male entrepreneurs in terms of their problems, the assistance received in addressing these problems, the value of outside consulting services, and the number of startups subsequent to counseling. Such studies are needed, not only to determine if there are differences in the problems male and female entrepreneurs face, but more importantly, to determine if any of these differences affect the successful development of new ventures. The fact that the SBA recently established a special training program for women entrepreneurs funded by a new \$10 million grant, approved by Congress in 1988 (H.R. 5050), makes the issue even more timely and pertinent. To address this issue, this article compares samples of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs who received consulting assistance from a state-level Small Business Development Center (SBDC). The two groups were compared in terms of: (1) the strategic, administrative, and operating assistance received; (2) their evaluation of the value of the consulting services; and (3) their propensity to initiate ventures after receiving SBDC assistance. The study was based on the results of two surveys of the entire population of 457 long-term pre-venture clients that received counseling from one SBDC state system between July 1, 1985, and June 30, 1987. All clients were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the kinds of assistance sought, the quality of the service received, and whether or not they subsequently went into business. We received 162 (35.4\%) usable responses, of which 94 were from males (58.0\%) and 68 were from females (42.0\%). T-tests and chi-square tests of independence and goodness-of-fit were used to test hypotheses pertaining to the assistance needs of aspiring male and female entrepreneurs. Results indicated that male and female clients of the SBDC are virtually identical in terms of their assistance needs. Females do not appear to need more assistance than males, nor do they appear to require different types of assistance. The virtually identical ratings of service value among males and females also indicates that both genders are equally satisfied with the assistance received. Taken together, these findings suggest that females suffer no significant entrepreneurial disadvantages compared to males. If they had, it would be logical to assume that females, who received the same types and amounts of assistance as males, would find such levels of service inadequate, and consequently, rate it less favorably. Furthermore, the fact that the proportion of female clients was statistically equal to the proportion of net new businesses operated by women refutes the notion that general-assistance programs such as the SBDC are not equally accessible to both genders. The fact that female client start-ups were significantly higher than their proportional representation in the region further supports this conclusion. The primary implication for public policy makers and outside consultants is that little evidence exists to warrant special treatment or special programs for females, especially at a cost of \$10 million. In terms of research implications, our results suggest that it would be better if future studies concentrated on behaviors and strategic factors affecting the performance of new ventures (whether male-or female-owned), rather than merely comparing the characteristics of the entrepreneurs who start them.},<br />

This represented a rate of increase five times greater than that for men in the same period. From 1977 to 1980 the proportion of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by women increased from 22.6 percent to 26.1 percent. In addition, the number of non-farm, sole proprietorships operated by couples soared from 284,405 in 1981 to 440,000 in 1982.

abstract={Entrepreneurship contributes to economic development in countries worldwide. Entrepreneurial activity is beneficial for both men and women, including those in developing countries. However, men and women may not engage in entrepreneurship to the same extent because of differential access to (various forms of) capital. This study examines the relative importance of three types of capital – human, family and financial – in pursuing entrepreneurship. Using data collected in Turkey, we find that regardless of sex, all three forms of capital influence the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur in varying degrees. Contrary to expectations, the impact of human capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur is higher for women than men. Data also revealed that family capital facilitates women's entry into entrepreneurship only when family size is very large (i.e. seven or more). No gender differences are observed in the impact of financial capital on the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur. Findings suggest that to encourage entrepreneurship in Turkey, policy-makers should emphasize access to human and financial capital. Furthermore, findings suggest that women's likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur will be especially encouraged if they have increased access to education, as well as the skills necessary to take advantage of their family capital.},<br />

We use the prequota cross-sectional variation in female board representation to instrument for exogenous changes to corporate boards following the quota. We find that the constraint imposed by the quota caused a significant drop in the stock price at the announcement of the law and a large decline in Tobin's Q over the following years, consistent with the idea that firms choose boards to maximize value. The quota led to younger and less experienced boards, increases in leverage and acquisitions, and deterioration in operating performance.},<br />

The debate focuses on questions such as whether a corporation’s board should reflect the firm’s stakeholders or be more in line with society in general. This article uses a sample of listed Danish firms during the period of 1998–2001 in a cross sectional analysis. Despite that fact that Denmark has gone very far in the liberalisation of women, Danish board rooms are still to a large extent dominated by men. Contrary to a number of other studies, this article does not find any significant link between firm performance as measured by Tobin’s Q and female board representation. This is also the case for board members’ educational background as well as the proportion of foreigners. It is argued that board members with an unconventional background are socialised unconsciously adopting the ideas of the majority of conventional board members, which entails that a potential performance effect does not materialise.},<br />

The level of female involvement in entrepreneurial activity, however, is still significantly lower than that of men. We take a behavioral economics approach and, using a large sample of individuals in 17 countries, we investigate what variables influence the entrepreneurial propensity of women and whether those variables have a significant correlation with differences across genders. In addition to demographic and economic variables, we include a number of perceptual variables. Our results show that subjective perceptual variables have a crucial influence on the entrepreneurial propensity of women and account for much of the difference in entrepreneurial activity between the sexes. Specifically, we find that women tend to perceive themselves and the entrepreneurial environment in a less favorable light than men across all countries in our sample and regardless of entrepreneurial motivation. Our results suggest that perceptual variables may be significant universal factors influencing entrepreneurial behavior.},<br />

abstract={Women are one particularly understudied group of entrepreneurs. We know very little about female entrepreneurs, and our ignorance of this important demographic is a serious blind spot in any effort to increase the total number of entrepreneurs participating in our economy. What little we do know suggests that women are not nearly as active in the entrepreneurial space as they could be. This study attempts to address part of this knowledge gap. This based on data were collected in 2008-2009 from 549 respondents from randomly selected high-tech companies who were invited to participate. It compares the backgrounds, and experiences and motivations of men and women entrepreneurs. Our findings show that successful women and men entrepreneurs are similar in almost every respect. They had equivalent levels of education (slightly less than half earned graduate degrees), early interest in starting their own business (about half had at least some interest), a strong desire to build wealth or capitalize on a business idea, access to funding, and they largely agreed on the top issues and challenges facing any entrepreneur. The data also identify some small but potentially informative gender differences among successful entrepreneurs. For instance, motivations for starting a business differed slightly between men and women. The latter were more likely to cite a business partner’s encouragement as a key incentive to take the plunge. Women also were more likely than men to get early funding from their business partners.}<br />
