8File 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. 9Mile Labs

9NOTE: 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. AIA Accelerator

11Type list:*Private*Corporate*Academic Note: if DEAD, noted here. AT&T Aspire Accelerator

16 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. Accelerate Baltimore

18international 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. Accelerate Tectoria Accelerator

211. Airbus BizLabCopy/paste URL listed in Accelerator type list file into google. If website is insufficient, try googling: the name of the accelerator the name of the accelerator + "crunchbase" the name of the accelerator + "nonprofit"

232. Note whether: 1) Academic/Corporate/Private 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. 3) subtype (S, I, A, F, C, V, G, T). 4) Additional, easily-accessed info. Number 4 is really important if there's no subtype. AlphaLab

24All 270 need to be done by the end of the semester. Amplify.LA

26Type list file saved as "Accelerator type list" in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Spring 2017\Grouping project of ListOfAccs.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. Angelcube

29=End of Semester Report=The end of semester report will focus on ranking accelerators and environments based on the variables we have gathered. Arizona Center 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 Innovationaccelerators 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.

31=Overview=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. Arrowhead Tech Incubator 2016

32The primary use of this data is for an academic paper detailed on the [[Matching Entrepreneurs to Accelerators and VCs (Academic Paper)]] page. Aspire 3 Accelerator 2017

33However, 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). Atlanta Ventures Accelerator

34This project needs the results of the [[Industry Classifier]], [[Whois Parser]], and other tools. AutoXLR8R

36==Things To Do==*Obtain all URLs for accelerators in order to run through the Wayback Machine to find out when they started. Axel Springer Plug *Match Crunchbase Data with our Accelerator List to see if they have any accelerators that we do not.*Obtain an example of accelerator that started early and Playhas multiple companies but does not separate them into cohorts and figure out a way to determine which companies went through each cohort.

37==What Each File in the "Accelerator" Folder on the RDP Contains==*"Accelerator List Sources" (Folder) - This folder contains most of the sources that we pulled accelerator names from at the very beginning of the project.*"Code+Final_Data" (Folder) - This folder contains Peter's code for pulling the data from the text files in the "Data" folder.*"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.*"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.*"Data - Copy" (Folder) - This is just a copy of our current "Data" folder.*"Data_Copy" (Folder) - This is a copy of our original "Data" folder before we did any manual cleaning.*"Enclosing_Circle" (Folder) - This folder seems to contain some data on VC but I'm not sure how it pertains to the Accelerator project. B 4 Change Impact *"F6S AcceleratorHTMLs" (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.*"Google_SiteSearch" (Folder) - This folder contains Python code for Google searches.*"Industry_Classifier" (Folder) - This folder seems to contain Python code but I'm not sure what for.*"Matcher" (Folder) - This folder contains the Matcher.*"Python WebCrawler" (Folder) - This folder contains code that is a work in progress for pulling descriptions from accelerator websites. It is Jeemin's project.*"Cleaned Cohort Data Copy" (Excel File) - This file contains a copy of our cleaned cohort data.*"Cleaned Cohort Data" (Excel File) - This file contains the most current, completely cleaned data on cohort company information.*"NormalizeFixedWidth" (PL File) - This is the normalizer.*"PortCoNames" (TXT File) - This file contains all of the names of the cohort companies as well as the accelerator they went through.*"VC Data" (Excel File) - This file contains all of the names of the companies that have ever received VC funding.*"VC_Data" (TXT File) - This file contains that non-normalized data of all of the VC information.*"VC_Data_Names" (TXT File) - This file contains all of the names of companies that have received VC funding.*"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.

38==Process==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. B2B Acceleration Program

40#Work on the [[Crunchbase 2013 Snapshot]]#Match cohort companies to VC-backed portfolio companies#Refine our data to work out which cohort each cohort company was a member of, cohort start dates and locations, etc. BBC Worldwide Labs#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

42*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].*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. *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]]). BRANDCELERATE

45The files we used to match are located in the E drive. Bantunium Labs AcceleratorWe used the matcher to match our portfolio company names from the cohort file located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators. *The files used to matching are located E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Matcher*Portco is the name of the companies pulled from the cohort file*AccCo includes both the cohort company name, along with the name of the accelerator itself*In the matcher, the inputs are the PortCo names, as well as the VC data from our pull in SDC*The outputs include the AccCo_VC data located in E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators which give a lot of information on the matches, including::*name of the match itself:*number of investments:*dates that the company received its investments

47We accessed SDC platinum and pulled information on round-based funding that all registered companies received from between the years 1999 to 2017. Barclays New York Summer 2015

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.
