===An Overview===
This project is developing broad and near-population data on accelerators and their cohort companies. The objective is to identify which cohorts of which accelerators a cohort company was trained in, obtain details of the accelerators, and obtain details of the cohort companies, including information about any venture capital investment that the cohort company might have received and any IPO or acquisition the company may have experienced.
The primary use of this data is for an academic paper detailed on the [[Matching Entrepreneurs to Accelerators and VCs (Academic Paper)]] page.
However, this project can also provide useful data to other academic papers ([[Urban Start-up Agglomeration]], [[Hubs (Academic Paper)]], and [[Hubs Scorecard (Academic Paper)]]), projects ([[Houston Entrepreneurship]]) and blog posts (under the [[Emerging Ecosystems]] umbrella project).
This project needs the results of the [[Industry Classifier]], [[Whois Parser]], and other tools.
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
