Searching for firms who attended multiple accelerators Answered

I am looking at "accelerator nomads,"  firms that go through multiple accelerators during their existence. In this example I am starting with Y Combinator firms from 2010-2013. I am looking for what to add to the search to identify Y-C participants who subsequently went to another accelerator. The search to this point looks like this:

Any advice or assistance would be most welcome. I am using Crunchbase Pro.

Thanks in advance,

Jerome

    Thanks. I followed the link. Got this error message:

    [{"status":500,"code":"GW500","message":"An internal error has occurred.","field":""}]

    Went to the message link, got to the above and saw the "Add funding rounds filter" but it wasn't clear to me how to apply it to get multiple accelerator investments for companies funded by Y-combinator. Please advise. Thanks! Jerome

    Thanks! I have to admit it isn't clear to me how it works, but it is working.

    However.

    I've been manually going through the 318 firm list and looking up investors and manually marking investments by other accelerators. Done that way (and about halfway through the list) I've got several companies Y-C invested in, and other accelerators did, but they are not picked up by the query you've shared. Examples include Scoutzie, Rapportive, Pixelapse, Referly, Collections, Cue, Aisle50, Freshplum, Couple, Amicus, Videopixie, Rentmetrics and FundersClub (ordered by the number of funding rounds). All of these were in the seed or pre-seed stages. I have others where the accelerators participated in later stage investments.

    Any thoughts about what's going on here? Any revisions of the query? Right now I think it's missing a lot of the possibilities. 

    Actually your list has me thinking whether my original query worked correctly. Anomaly Innovations is on your list, and is 1/1/2010 but did not appear on my original query. That's giving me pause. Any thoughts about that? What am I missing?

    Thanks. Sorry to be a problem. Please let me know what you think.

    Jerry
