===Relevant Former Projects===
This page serves as an updated and tidied version of the data and work presented on the [[Accelerator Seed List (Data)]] Project, which subsumed [[Accelerator Data]].
Both of these projects (and as a corollary, this project) are dependent on the [[Demo Day Page Parser]], [[Industry Classifier]], and the [[Whois Parser]].
===An Overview===
This project will be used to determine which accelerators are the most effective at churning out successful startups, as well as what characteristics are exhibited by these accelerators. First, we need to gather as much data as we can about as many accelerators as we can in order to look at factors that differentiate successful vs. unsuccessful ventures. Next, we need to create a web crawling program which will gather information about accelerators across the world by accessing their websites and extracting information. I believe that our overall goal with this research project is to gain insight into the methods of successful accelerators, as well as to find out what exactly differentiates very successful accelerators from dead accelerators.
