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'

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.

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".

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!
