'''Steps taken'''

#Mined websites like AngelList, Cruchbase, StartupBlink, Houston Startups List, etc.

#Cleaned data

**Columns align with headers all the way down

**Websites actually belong to the company (Not youtube or angellist)

**There are no "new lines" in individual cells

**There are no open quotes (or really just no quotes in general is best)

#Uploaded into the Houston psql database

**Saved as UTF-8 encoding

#Used Matcher to Match compiled names against itself

**Used this matched file to standardize/normalize names for future data consolidating

#Made distinct list of Houston Startups using file above

#Made a priority list for importing data into the Masterfile

#Using priority list populated empty columns in Masterfile with each of the mined tables

**had to go back separate some things out like addresses or multiple accelerators

#exported MasterFile into excel

'''Future Steps'''

#Use who is parser to find missing addresses

#upload individual startups into their own wiki

#repeat these steps with Venture firms, Angels (& Groups), Accelerators, Incubators, Service Firms, Flex & Co-working spaces, Event Spaces, etc.
