The purpose of this project is to build a database of incubators, perhaps as well as other ecosystem organizations, from AngelList.
So Far
Process from before:
- Opened source link (http://www.angel.co)
- Typed "incubator" in the search box
- Clicked on "Search for 'incubator'
500 Results
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.
Failed workarounds
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". And I can't see a way to restrict search by type.
Signed up for an account as Ed Egan, ed@edegan.com, littleAmount. 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!
Another Deadend
The page https://angel.co/incubators shows 6,054 companies. It stopped adding to the list after 20 More clicks, which turned out to be 400 results. Saved page as E:\projects\AngelList\Incubator - CompanyTypes - AngelList.html
Given the page title, this is likely the just the "Incubator" company type organizations. However, there is some useful information that could be extracted from just that page.
Possible Process
Tried searching incubator TX but it looks like only the name and text descriptions is searched. Tried searching "incubator a", "incubator b", "incubator c" and each had less than 500 results, so that might work.
