Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
We are one of the most active StartEd accelerators in the world. Over the last decade we have accelerated over 1350 companies through 275 different cohorts. These companies are across all sectors of tech and hail over 25 different countries.

We have a database built in Airtable that houses are dawn these companies.this data is imperfect and we have never tried to leverage for insights, dashboards, or anything other than a repository we can search.

We have a tremendous opportunity to lower the data and generate valuable and proprietary insights into the market. 
Project Synopsis: Activities/Actions Required
First, we need to assess the data to understand what we have and what is missing that we could potentially gather. Then we need to gather missing data that we decide is critical to the project. 

Important but not necessary to this project is identifying an automation that will maintain clean and up to date data. 

Next, I need to start analyzing the data for potentially interesting insights. I don't know exactly what we will discover but there's possibility for interesting research that could be published.

Finally, we will leverage an interface functionality of Airtable to create analytic dashboards to help us extract real time value from our data. 
Project Synopsis: Expected Results
Achieving any of the following would be a success:
  1. Creating dashboards that allow us to better understand our companies, trends in the industry, or anything else that can be determined from our data set.
  2. A process for maintaining clean data on our companies. 
  3. Any insights relevant enough to publish
