A curated list of 230+ incubators & accelerators
by Bugra OzkanI've collected more than 230+ incubator and accelerator programs as a spreadsheet since I applied to many of those with my other project, Episolo.
It was not easy to find the most suitable programs. All the resources on the web were outdated. And I didn't want to miss application deadlines, so I brought all the programs I've bookmarked together into a spreadsheet, then a website as a curated directory: incubatorlist.com.
I thought it could be useful for other makers as well. Hope you like it!

People eat this stuff up on Product Hunt. You should submit there as well. Thanks for the diligent research!

You're welcome, sir!
Yeah I'm gonna submit it there too in the following days, but I wanted to collect some feedback before, from IH, a community where I feel much more connected to.

You're always welcome Belal! I had collected most of this data for myself. Then I considered it could be useful for other founders, and who knows, maybe this can lead a successful side project for me as well.

This is pretty awesome! Some feedback: I found it a bit jarring that I got navigated to a different page when I clicked on a category or a region. I would prefer if they acted more like filters that just filtered the content that's already on the page :)

Three you should add:
MassChallenge (non-profit, non-equity, cash money award potential, multiple cities, mostly remote)
U.S. Ignite Smart City Accelerator (non-profit, non-equity, curriculum run by Kauffman Foundation, no cash prizes but a few services deals (AWS), remote)
Thunder Launchpad Accelerator by StitchCrew (Oklahoma city based program, non-equity, service deals)
F6S has a good list of global incubators/accelerators you could add to your site too.

Either you read my mind or my task list :) as the reviews from participants and even mentoring from those people will be available very soon.

Awesome 🙌
Any plans to (semi) standardise the application process and use this website to forward applications to all the relevant programmes for a given startup? 🧐
Understand it might be difficult to get a universal application as everyone wants different things but would be so powerful and helpful for startups if you could apply in one place and submit to, say, 20+ programmes at once! ⚡️
Good work on collating at the v least. Must've taken ages, haha!

Hi Ash,
I'm happy you found it awesome! To be honest, application through IncubatorList has been always on my mind, also among my to-do list. F6S does it successfully, and it should be a good revenue source for them.
But the idea of standardizing the application process just blew my mind! I am grateful that you shared it with me. This can be challenging, but a powerful feature as well! Many many thanks!

Its a really nice list of accelerators and incubators!
Even I am on a mission to build a landing page directory for Startups as well.
Maybe we can discuss how to add your list to our page!-

Thanks a lot! That would be lovely, appreciate it! Let me know whenever you would like to discuss.

Great list. What the business model you guys think of when creating these free curated lists.
-
1
Thanks a lot! To be honest, I haven't thought of any business model for this project. But I have a few ideas to lead customers from this website to my startup, Episolo.
For other curated lists, promoted links are the main source of revenue as far as I can see.

How are you going to keep track of the open/closed status?

For some of the programs, I am fetching the deadline data automatically from the platforms like F6S. For the others, it is manual for now: I collected the deadlines from their websites.

Great job!
If I have suggestions for missing incubators/accelerators where can I submit?

Hi again, Emmet!
I added a submission form like 10 days ago, but I forgot to remind you (I said I would let you know but forgot it, sorry:) So, if you'd like to add programs, I think it is easier now.
-
1
Thanks a lot Emmet! I'm very happy that you want to contribute to it.
Just for now, you can send them as an e-mail to [email protected]. But I will be adding a form asap. I will let you know whenever it's ready.

At the bottom there is a "Contact us" button. You can email them.

It would be good if you could apply both industry and geographic filters at the same time, e.g. fintech in the UK. Or even just see the other category without having to click in to each one.
Very good though, and seems accurate, nice job!-

Hey Benjamin!
Glad that you liked it.
The first thing that I will be adding will be a better search. Applying multiple filters is a must, I agree. I will let you know whenever I add it.
The current version is like an MVP, that's why it is lacking many features and so simple. I just wanted to build it quickly, launch and get valuable feedbacks like yours. So your feedback proves that I've done the right thing:)

You could consider adding Antler.co to the list.
They raised 50M USD last month from a.o. Eduardo Saverin.I participated in their May 2019 program last year. Had a blast. I'm also curious to see how yesterday's PH listed Pioneer will do. I can really appreciate their online gamification element.

Hey Xander!
Actually Antler was on the list already, but thanks to you I've realized some of the programs were not being shown due to a minor bug. I'll fix that asap, thanks again for letting me realise it:)
By the way, I am also an Antler graduate, we are Antler fellows with you! I participated in the last Stockholm cohort a few months ago. I didn't know about Pioneer, I will check it out!

So I see, and seems like your experience has been identical to mine. Fun! I'll check out your other project. Stay in touch.

Thanks a lot Levi! I agree, it has definitely value but it requires a consistent effort to make it a real startup. Hopefully I can do it!

Thanks a lot! I used a framework called Hugo, I would definitely recommend it to build a static website quickly if you're coding. https://gohugo.io/
