Matthew Ringheanu Work Logs (log page) 10/17/2016 2:00-5:00 pm: Created personal wiki page as well as work log; Read about the research project to which I have been assigned; Wrote a short summary of what I believe it is and included some helpful links
10/18/2016 4:00-6:00 pm: Met with research partner Shrey who filled me in on where we are with the project; Began looking on websites of certain accelerators for how to determine their cohorts and listed these steps on the wiki
10/19/2016 2:00-5:00 pm: Finished looking on the remaining accelerator websites and wrote the steps on determining how to manually locate the cohorts.
10/20/2016 4:00-6:00 pm: Met with Peter and Christy to discuss the possibility of creating a web crawler that will pull data from individual accelerator sites.
10/24/2016 2:00-5:00 pm: Brainstormed with Albert and Julia about changes to the category name for SBDE. Spoke to Ed about full scope of accelerator project.
10/25/2016 4:00-6:00 pm: Brainstormed with Shrey about different potential industry focuses within accelerators, as well as different variables to search for in terms of accelerators, startups, cohorts, etc.
10/26/2016 2:00-5:00 pm: Began searching for more databases including lists of accelerators as well as some characteristics of those accelerators; Began searching for characteristics that identify accelerators on their websites
10/27/2016 4:00-6:00 pm: Continued searching for relevant lists of accelerators to include on our page. Added some links that have high potential under the tab (Obtained from List of Accelerators or various Google searches).
10/31/2016 2:00-5:00 pm: Began constructing a list of variables that clearly distinguish an accelerator on its website. This is in an effort to allow a crawler to crawl through many Google searches and identify accelerators.
11/1/2016 4:00-6:00 pm: Continued looking for variables that could identify accelerators from their websites. Searched through numerous different websites of accelerators obtained from our current databases.
11/2/2016 2:00-4:00 pm: Continued combing through websites of numerous accelerators, well-known and other, in the hopes of finding identifying variables.
