==Summary==
This paper describes a two-stage matching model and estimates this model using data on entrepreneurs that match to accelerators and (lead) venture capitalists. Once the model is estimated, we can enact various policy-relevant changes and estimate their effects. For example, we could eliminate non-profit accelerators, government-sponsored venture capitalists, or other participants.
==Data specification==
The data spec sent to Jeremy is in:
Z:\Projects\MatchingAcceleratorsToVCs
We are only interested in lead VCs for now.
