Techstars Graph Solutions

This repo contains raw JSON data for Techstars. As well as code for creating an Obsidean project (locally), and code to inject the data into a neo4j database. This data is not restricted, as it was available (hidden a little) on the Techstars site.

Setup for Neo4j

Neo4j is a graph db. This repo contains a script that will create a connection to either cloud neo4j db or local. And it will create labels for companies, programs and people.

node neo4j.js

The resulting social graph is predictablity a larger sphere. So you will need to read up on Neo4j's query language3 cypher.

Setup for Obsidean

Background, Obsidean is a desktop note taking software (has a cloud offering). Its free and includes some social graph display features. This code script will reformat the data into files that work with Obsidean and can display relationships.

node obsidean.js

(Note: Large Obsidean projects get slow.)

Algolia Search Index

Finally there is a search index option for pushing the data to Algolia. This option is purely for search, and OTB Algolia does not support graph and relationships visualizations.

Next Steps

There is some stub code in this repo for OpenAI integration, but its not functional or ready for prime time.
