Introduction and steps
The purpose of this project is to be able to give a NAICS code to each startup in our sample of startups that have attended accelerators. This will allow us to determine the specialization (if any) of each of the startup accelerators in our sample. The first few steps of the process are meant to get you up to speed.
Step 1: Retrieve URLs for each of the companies
For the first task, we will get the URLs for the company websites of every company that entered an accelerator. To do so, we will use “Porfolio Firms” Tab of the Excel Sheet called “Accelerator-Portfolio-NAICS”. Here are the steps, each refers step refers to this sheet explicitely:
1. Look for a row that does not have the URL column filled out 2. Check to make sure that no one else is working on that row by seeing if someone has placed their cursor on that row 3. Now put your cursor on that row by clicking on the row’s Name column (this will make sure no one duplicates your work) 4. Now copy the Accelerator and Name columns of that row 5. Paste them into the google search box and search 6. Find a website that references both the accelerator name and the startup name 7. Click on that website’s link in google 8. See if the webpage includes a URL for the startup 9. Copy the company’s URL to the URL column in the row of the startup in the “Accelerator-Portfolio-NAICS” sheet 10. Put your initials (first, middle and last) in the “URL-ENTERER” column of the spreadsheet 11. If you have time, go back to step 1 and repeat
