Relevant Former Projects

This page serves as an updated and tidied version of the data and work presented on the Accelerator Seed List (Data) Project, which subsumed Accelerator Data. Both of these projects (and as a corollary, this project) are dependent on the Demo Day Page Parser, Industry Classifier, and the LinkedIn Parser.

An Overview

The most recent update provided on Accelerator Seed List (Data) was on 05/21/2018. This update included the most recent master file of accelerator data, found at

E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Summer 2018\Accelerator Master Variable List.xlsx

The Google Sheets Master Sheet is found here

Remaining To Dos

The last update on Accelerator Seed List (Data) said the following needed to be done:

  • 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
  • Variables that are 100% NOT in these 2 files:
    • Cohort Breakout?
    • Subtype
    • Designed for Students?
    • Campuses
    • Stage
    • Software Tech
    • What stage do they look for?

TODO:

McNair/Projects/Accelerators/Fall 2017/unfound_founders.txt

A 0 means we don't have founder data for that accelerator. Specs: A tab delimited text file with the following fields:

Accelerator   First Name   Last Name   LinkedInURL(if possible)

Getting the LinkedInURL will ensure accuracy, but will work without it.


  • Shrey: Find "demo day" keywords, so that we can search AcceleratorName Year Keyword and get back potential demo day pages

It is unclear if any of these tasks have been done since the update on 05/21. I will begin by seeing which of these things have been carried out.

06/20/2018 Update

LinkedIn Founders

The list of founders for accelerators can be found at

McNair/Projects/Accelerators/Fall 2017/founders_linkedin.txt

The Unfound Founders file is accurate in that it codes a 0 for all companies not listed within the LinkedIn Founders file, and a 1 for those that do have founders listed.
