Summer 2018

6/21 -- Downloaded Crunchbase data using API version 3.1, loaded 17 files into crunchbase2 database, checked each table to make sure specs matched new data and updated line counts. Grace and I ran into an issue with blank strings on date types. Date types with "" were not being read as null. We fixed this using a one-line command that we've written on Crunchbase Data. Later we used Connor's master list of 166 accelerators and tried to create a table with accelerators and their uuids by using the 'orgnizations' table. Some names matched multiple times and some did not match at all so we ended up with 179 matches, which we will clean through tomorrow.
