Goal

We will evaluate data sources based on the number of incubators they have data on and the type of information they supply on these incubators. We will also record whether or not these data sources collect information on any other types of entrepreneurship organizations. Ideally these data sources would provide some or all of the variables that were identified as most important for identifying incubators (Formulate_baseline_attributes). However, it is unlikely that one data source will contain all of the baseline attributes identified, therefore if the data source can provide links to a large quantity of incubators or in-depth descriptions, they could still be viable.


Evaluation of Sources from Specific Google Searches

  • Searches included:
  • Incubator Database
  • us business incubators database

Source: https://www.whartoneclub.com/resources/entrepreneurship/incubators/

  1. Opened source link
  2. Copied results from "U.S. Based Incubators" into excel spreadsheet
  3. Returned list of 21 US Based Incubators
  4. Data
  1. Name
  2. Url to home Page
  3. City, State (In parentheses next to name)

Review

  • Provides links to the home page url of incubator, may not be able to get very specific information about the incubator with a web crawler
  • Some of the incubators may not fall under our definition of an incubator (e.g. Y Combinator)

Source: http://exchange.inbia.org/network/findacompany/

  1. Opened source link
  2. Entered "United States" for country information and clicked "Find Companies"


Accelerator Data Sources that are Potentially Viable

Source: http://www.acceleratorinfo.com/see-all.html

  1. Opened source link
  2. Copied links from first column (“All Startup Support Programs”) into excel and returned 215 results
  3. Copied links from second column (“All University Programs”) into excel and returned 249 results)
  4. Each link on parent list leads to individual home page url of organization

Review

  • Provides only links, does not separate between incubator and accelerator, some of the university supported programs may not be considered either an incubator or an accelerator

Source: https://bostonstartupsguide.com/guide/every-boston-startup-accelerator-incubator/

  1. Scrolled down to the section labeled "Startup incubators in Boston"
  2. Counted the number of incubators in Boston (10)
  3. Data
  1. Company Name and URL
  2. Capital Provide
  3. Equity taken
  4. Application Process

Review

  • The data is relatively unformatted and would be a challenge to use
  • It is limited in scope to the Boston Area and only provides information on 10 incubators



Accelerator Data Sources that are not viable

  • Reason: data is cluttered/messy, does not provide links to incubator websites and doesn't include enough information for evaluation without incubator url
  • Learn More: Previous Research
