Added 80+ startup programs & various new metrics

I've added more than 80 startup programs to incubatorlist.com and 8 other key information about all the programs as requested, including:

  • Crunchbase rank
  • Number of investments
  • Number of exits
  • Founded year
  • Program type
  • Type of funding
  • Total funding raised
  • Number of alumni startups

By tomorrow, I will be adding a filtering based on key information in addition to 100+ new programs.

    I found the fact that the category filters switched from cards to a list a bit jarring. I really like the card view because it presents a snapshot of each incubator. I would expect the category filter to show the same view with just the required incubators present.

      I definitely agree, and many people also said they found it annoying. I will update the filtering very very soon (and will inform you :) Thanks for the feedback!

    Dope did you build in bubble? how do you intend to monetize this?

      Cheers man! I built it using Hugo.

      I am planning to monetize it through affiliations and protomed ads.

    Nice! So what have you learn or personal opinion, as you were adding/researching those incubators?

      Thanks! One of the things I've learned: most of these programs are dying in a few years, they are mostly short-lived and their websites etc. are not updated. But their number is increasing rapidly, which shows entrepreneurship is a hot topic, more than ever.

        Hi Bozkan, thanks for the reply. That's definitely an interesting insight. Perhaps there are plenty of interest in replicating success stories like YC, but not many of these programs have delivered the fruits like YC had. Apart from the programs itself, I think the unique location that attracts talent, investors ecosystem, and the geo-political stability also plays a vital role for the success of these startup programs. They will keep trying and hopefully someday they will find a way to generate enough success outcomes that will keep them going.

          Hi Darren! I agree, there are many factors affecting their success. But it is also an important indicator, which shows the ecosystem of entrepreneurs is growing more than ever, which is definitely a good thing.
