Nice work by Jed on accelerator landscape. Huge resource for those of us living upstream - http://4.0schools.org http://4.0schools.org

Great work. It'd be really handy to have the next entrance deadline for each of the accelerators alongside the other data. Thanks :)

  I can't remember if it's explicitly on the roadmap, but it's something I do plan on adding.

Seedcamp's missing

  It's on the site, but currently hidden because it's not a "seed accelerator" by the definition I use: http://www.seed-db.com/about/definition http://www.seed-db.com/about/definition (Similarly, Seedcamp isn't shown on NESTA's Startup Factories site.) Basically, as I understand it Seedcamp has morphed into a seed fund instead of strictly a seed accelerator. (Where you have classes of startups that enter/leave at the same time.) Again, I'm going to keep track of other program models, too. I personally believe Seedcamp is VERY valuable and a great program for startups. I just wanted to get what's there launched first.

    Thanks for clarifying! I thought that may be the case now that they operate the mini-Seedcamps and Seedcamp week with investment happening year-round. Look forward to seeing more from Seed-DB.

    (I'm part of the Seedcamp Team) Actually - we do have cohorts, just a little nuanced from the 3-month programs. Due to the distributed nature of the onboarding and investments (locally in the markets we cover), we decided to kickstart the individual startups monthly. We have a rolling program throughout the year, but the annual Seedcamp Week with Demo Day is completely separated by annual class. In terms of focus, we haven't changed: product focused teams from all around Europe (and beyond now), at seed stage, at standard investment. Happy to chat and give you more input, of course.
