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
  • Incubation with coaching or lab access
  • Startup studios
  • University founder centers
  • Public programs with an application process

What is left out

  • Investment funds without a program
  • Office or coworking space without a program
  • Programs with no dated activity in 18 months

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.
