About This Database

What is this Accelerator Directory?

This database contains 201 startup accelerator programs from around the world. Each entry includes the program name, type, location, investment amount, equity percentage taken, program duration, and gated details including application links, terms, and notable graduates.

Accelerators vs. incubators vs. venture capital

Accelerators are time-bound programs (typically 3-6 months) that provide seed funding, mentorship, and resources in exchange for equity. Unlike incubators, which provide space and resources without a fixed timeline, accelerators run in structured cohorts with a demo day at the end. Unlike traditional VC, accelerators provide hands-on operational support and a peer community of fellow founders building at the same stage.

How to choose the right accelerator

The most important factor is alignment. Look at the program's sector focus, geographic strengths, and alumni network. A fintech-focused accelerator will connect you with banking partners, regulatory experts, and fintech-specific investors that a generalist program cannot. Check the investment terms carefully — equity stakes range from 2% to 10%, and some programs use convertible notes instead of equity.

Duration matters too. A 3-month program is intense but efficient. A 6-month program gives more room for product development but requires a longer commitment. Consider your startup's stage and what you need most: customer introductions, technical mentorship, investor access, or operational support.

  • 201 programs across 50+ cities worldwide
  • Investment and equity terms for each program
  • Duration and location details for planning
  • Pairs well with our VC Firms database for post-accelerator fundraising
