How this list is made

Every card on this page passed the same three checks before it was published.

  1. 1

    Opened on its own website

    Each organization was read on its own site, not on a directory or press page.

  2. 2

    Active in the last 18 months

    A dated cohort, open call, demo day or news item is required. Its date is on the card; an announced one shows as Upcoming.

  3. 3

    Checked a second time

    A separate review re-read every record. Anything it could not confirm was left out.

What gets listed

  • Accelerator cohorts

What is left out

Only what they state

Sector focus, duration, equity and funding appear only where the organization states them itself. A blank means it does not say, not that the answer is none.
