6/25 -- Updated list of accelerators and their UUIDs with Connor and Grace (we now have 163 matches), created a table in database crunchbase2 called 'AccUUIDsFinal'. This is a list of 3 columns: accelerator names from the master list, accelerator names from crunchbase, accelerator UUIDs from crunchbase. Then we joined this table back to the needed info fields from crunchbase. This new table is called 'AccAllInfo'. From this table, joining accelerator UUIDs to company UUIDs does not work. This gives investors that have invested in accelerators. From this, Connor and I figured that company_name/company_uuid actually refers to the company being invested in. Joining accelerator names to investor names also gives nothing back. However, when I manually searched Y Combinator as an investor name, I got results back. Not sure what is going on - I think the accelerator names to investor names join should work.
6/26 -- Fixed yesterday's issue of no matches. The problem was that the investor_names field was surrounded with curly braces. I removed these and a clean version is saved in 'funding_rounds-no brackets.txt'. The match on I found that matching accelerator UUIDs to investor UUIDs gives more matches than accelerator names and to investor names gives 629 results, with 36 unique accelerators. Of these resultsThere are 631 matches, 507 most of which are labeled as seed type investments.
