The purpose of this project is to build a classifier, which takes the description of an ecosystem organization (i.e., a startup, a venture capitalist, an incubator, etc.) and either correctly classifies the organization's type or correctly classifies incubators vs. non-incubators.
We can use [[The Matcher (Tool)]] to match organization names to portfolio companies and VC funds and firms taken from '''vcdb3''' (see [[VentureXpert Database]]). We will also search this data by hand for incubators to get an initial set. Later on, we'll match our early list of incubators to crunchbase organization names to expand our list.

Two new files were generated from the '''crunchbase3''' dbase as follows:
\COPY (SELECT uuid, company_name, short_description FROM Organizations WHERE country_code='USA' AND short_description LIKE '%incubat%') TO 'CrunchbaseShortOrgDescsUSAIncubat.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
--466
\COPY (SELECT A.uuid, A.company_name, B.description FROM Organizations AS A JOIN organization_descriptions AS B on A.uuid=B.uuid WHERE country_code='USA' AND description LIKE '%incubat%') TO 'CrunchbaseLongOrgDescsUSAIncubat.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
--933
These files were put in E:\projects\crunchbase3.
1. New file - Renamed E:\projects\crunchbase3\organizations as E:\projects\crunchbase3\organizations_OnlyIncubators_PlusIncubatorScores
