So Far
Process from before:
- Opened source link (http://www.angel.co)
- Typed "incubator" in the search box
- Clicked on "Search for 'incubator'
Revised process:
- Visit https://angel.co/search?q=incubator
- Click More (a lot)
- Save the HTML page as E:\projects\AngelList\AngelList.html
- That gets you 500 (out of 1,447 claimed results)
- Process the HTML using Regular Expressions to produce AngelListPages.txt, which is in the format:
- URL\tConame
- Note that restricting to "Companies" reduces it to 1,339 results.
Tried work around with pages:
- https://angel.co/search?page=13&q=incubator&type=companies
- https://angel.co/search?page=14&q=incubator&type=companies
But 40 results per page, page 13 ends with No Results Yet after More, and page 14 opens with it. So still capped at 500 results.
It appears from the format of results that Angellist has a type "incubator", though some likely incubators have other types (e.g., BMW iVentures Incubator is a "VC Firm" and Austin Technology Incubator is a "Company".

Then the link More -> Incubators takes you to https://angel.co/accelerators/apply
But there doesn't seem to be an advanced search. Count of incubator results increased while on the site!
