#.On the webpage, set "Type" to "Accelerator/Program", set "Location" to "North America", and set "Invest in Country" to "United States" to return results#Highlighted results and scrolled down until all results found; copied results to TextPad#In TextPad, sorted out lines with "by", as well as miscellaneous categories such as dates and dollar signs through Regular Expressions#Using the "More Info" line which held constant through the entire list, assigned a sequential number to the line (in order to determine the number of results)::*Obtained a grand total of 1467 results from the list::*Along with the name of the program/accelerator, the data included:::#Dollar value per team::#Equity::#Application Site::#Accelerator URL::*Many entries are not accelerators, from a quick glance through the results, there were various conferences, 3-5 days events, and written literature pertaining to accelerators as well::*From a sample size of the first 30 entries, determined 10 to be valid accelerators, 3 incubators, 6 conferences/weekends, and the rest to be miscellaneous entries such as startup events or "studios" (perhaps useful but not relevant to search)::*As we go down the list, the number of accelerators proportionately decreases. Can comfortably say that overall accelerator turnout from this website is much less than 33%, probably closer to 10-15%.
===Review===
*Potentially useful website if crawler could remove the clutter and target solely the accelerators
