Crunchbase Project
Following the initial analysis, I assembled three forms. After defining the following parameters:
- Industry
- Region
My form auto-popluates with relevant information related to a company’s geography, total funding, and website. Further detail:
- Form One: Companies by region > median funding > average funding
- Form Two: Funding League Table, Top 20 Companies in terms of total funding
- Form Three: Auto-populate list of all companies in dataset including
- Company Name
- Company Website
- Total Funding
- Operating Status (Operating, Acquired, Closed)
- Headquarters
- Founding Year
- Date of First Funding Round
- Date of Last Funding Round
Form One:
Form Two:
Form Three:
Considerations + Follow Up
Following the initial analysis, I discovered a more efficient means by which to rank + index values that calculates results with greater efficiency (dataset size is 56% smaller with the new methodology I developed). At this point in time, it is possible to expand the data beyond the scope of California to include the aggregate database (the world). The database will be 60% larger (about 9mb) and incorporate > 1 million points of information.
