DFW-US, International Universities and Schools 12-29-2024
Budget: $75.00 USD = 3 Milestones x $25.00/milestone; Time: 3 days per milestone.
I will recreate separate jobs for each milestone. I will send you the link. You will apply for one milestone at a time, and I will award you the job. Before you apply, first try this out otherwise you will be wasting your and my time.
1) If you complete this smaller job according to the following requirement then I have an immediate larger job, for collecting millions of rows of data with a budget greater than $500.00 for you.
2) It is not possible to do this job manually. You will have to automate it by writing and running web scraping script or using 3rd party App or platform.
3) It is your job to think, be creative and figure out what website, sources of contact info you will use. Some sources are listed in the link below but you need to find your own sources.
4) Do not use chatGPT’s fake email address and phone numbers it spit out. Those are not correct. I will randomly pick some data and call them to verify the quality of your data collection.
5) No duplicate contact is allowed. Daily update is required. Finding the URL, writing script or using any other form of tools, platform, VPN, are your responsibilities. I will NOT provide anything.
6) Populate the Excel sheet, remove duplicate, clean it up with proper column formatting for easy readability purpose, post link to the populated Excel sheet. Do not send me junk or screen shot. I do not want to see email in phone column or vice versa. Email is the most important field.
a) Milestone 1- Deliverable: 131,050 rows - - DFW-USA: From the 22 US Universities listed, collect 50 professors / Instructors and 1,000 students (BS, MS, and Ph.D.) contacts from each department or school of

Also collect 25 contact info of V.P. of external affairs or Alumni or dean of entrepreneurship or Research.
In addition, collect 5,000 contacts for the 3 universities that are listed in green color.
Example of UTD: [login to view URL] just type “a” and select student or professor etc. UTD is the easiest one to extract data from. Not all universities will have the same format. For most universities you have to find outside url. It is your job to figure that out.
This equal to 1,050 x 5 departments x 22 universities + 5, 000 x 3 + = 131,050 rows
b) Milestone 2- Deliverable: 200,000 rows. --- Professionals and Startups: Collect 200,000 engineering, IT, AI, CS professionals contact info. who are working for the top high-tech businesses in the US and entrepreneurs, startups who are looking for seed or angel funding similar to Y-Combinator.
