This python script takes a textfile of company names, and uses the Crunchbase Snapshot to determine the founder names of each company. If Crunchbase does not have the records of the founder, it is unlikely that a generic search on LinkedIn will provide any useful results. The script returns a new textfile with each company name replaced with "CompanyName Founder FounderName" for each founder of the company listed in the Crunchbase Snapshot. This new textfile can then be used directly with the LinkedIn Crawler to generate accurate search results, and retrieve accurate html pages.
===Results with Accelerator Data===
Of the 265 recorded accelerators we have data on, 94 of them have founders listed through the Crunchbase Snapshot. Some of these companies will have multiple founders with profiles, and some of these founders will not have LinkedIn profiles.
