Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and accelerators
- lifecreator 7y agoDo you have a plan on monetizing this?
- bozkan 7y agoCurrently, no. I may consider it as a traffic resource to my other projects.
- kotlinmaster 7y agoAppreciate your huge effort. Why did you decide to curate such a list?
- bozkan 7y agoI've recently applied to many programs with my startup, Episolo.com, which is a marketplace for startup mentorship. When I realized my bookmark list was too long just for me, I decided to make a simple website and share them with other people.
- hamid_ra 7y agoGreat resource for founders and to be founders! I bet a lot of people here including myself will find it very useful!
- hamid_ra 7y agoAlso a feedback. Since you’ve already put the effort to make it a website it might be worth add a filter tab/button so the users can filter them based on different dimensions(e.x city, equity, ...)
- bozkan 7y agoThis feedback came from many other people including my wife, so my next task is certain now:) I will add a filter based on multiple variants.
- bozkan 7y agoI am glad you found it useful, thanks!
- santa_boy 7y agoyep! +1 ... thanks OP ... very timely!
- bozkan 7y agoyou're welcome!
- acosmism 7y agomasschallenge appears to be missing from the list. is this only targeting for-profit accelerators?
- bozkan 7y agono, it is targeting any type of accelerators & incubator. my fault, forgot it. Thanks a lot for reminding me!
- davidajackson 7y agoAny way to add a "legitimacy" metric, whether that's notable companies, company success rate, total market cap of graduated companies, etc.
- breck 7y agoThis would be cool. Founding year and # of companies would be helpful. I think these are a long game and a lot of them seem to fade out after 3-4 batches.
- bozkan 7y agoAgree, there are hundreds of programs in F6S, shut down in a year or so, but still their applications are open. That's one of the reasons I wanted to curate such a list, which will be up-to-date all year.
- bozkan 7y agoThis is among my to-do list, as many people requested such metrics. I will add them asap. If you subscribe to the e-mail list from the website, whenever I add those metrics or any other update, you'll be notified about all.
- harrisreynolds 7y ago+1 to this request and [years in business, companies funded and unicorns/exits] This is great for founders... I'm working on a tool for founders to create apps without writing code [1] and anything that gives founders leverage with capital or time is critical to success.

- bozkan 7y agoI will add all these features soon, thanks for the feedback. Your product seems an interesting tool, good luck!
- UnusualTan 7y agoNice list. It'd be nice to have a few more filters though.
- bozkan 7y agothanks! Filters are on the way, will be live in 1-2 days!
- breck 7y agoA perhaps useful next step would be a “common app” to fill out one application and apply to all of these at once.
- bozkan 7y agoSomeone else also had suggested it. Then I started contacting some accelerators about such a feature. They seemed very interested in it. It is a bit challenging to implement, but would be very useful. After your feedback, this feature is now validated, and among my todo list!
- breck 7y agoCool. Happy to provide feedback (maybe even some implementation help if that would be helpful) as this might be something I would use and certainly would recommend it to folks. The SUS community would love this, I think, though I suspect you’ve already talked about it in there.
- bozkan 7y agoSorry for answering you so late Breck. I realized I missed your reply (I was trying to recover from some painful flu) It would be great to get more feedback and any kind of help. I am now contacting you by e-mail. Thanks!
- gshdg 7y agoHave you considered a filter by location?
- bozkan 7y agoYes, filtering by multiple factors such as location, categor etc. is the most requested feature. It is nearly finished and will be available soon.
