Worldwide Government and Private Start up Accelerator and Incubator Programs

I was doing some online research on government and private business accelerator and incubator programs and thought it would be helpful to consolidate the fruits of my efforts  into one post as a one stop shop for others also interested in learning about these programs, where to apply for them, deadlines and what organizations and groups are out there offering support to start ups, including to women and minority start ups.

There are over 250 programs listed here and there may be overlap as I haven’t had time yet to scrub duplicates, but wanted to share findings so far. Will edit as I have time.

First, here is aGoogle map of all the seed, accelerator and start ups around the globe.

Kaljundi lists deadlines. and so did Launch.is

You can go to National Incubator Industry Association and plug in your state and come up with a listing and contact for an incubator or accelerator near you.

 Startl breaks down the different types of accelerators

The following guide breaks down the four most common types of incubator and offers tips on identifying which might be best for you.
The Classic Incubator

  • PROGRAMLike Mr. Mancuso’s original, these incubators operate out of a shared building where tenants have subsidized rent, access to computers, office equipment, staff members and experts.
  • COST Fee-based, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month, which covers expenses like office space, equipment rental and kitchen access.
  • EXIT RULESMost programs expect tenants to “graduate” within three to five years.
  • EXAMPLES Cambridge Innovation Center (Cambridge, Mass.), TechColumbus(Columbus, Ohio).
  • BEST FORFirst-timers or those looking to connect in new industries.
  • HOW IT WORKSIt is based on shared knowledge, said Tim Rowe, founder and chief executive of the Cambridge Innovation Center, which houses 300 early-stage companies in a facility owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tenants pay from $250 a month to $1,100 a month per person with no limit on how long they can stay.
  • GRADUATES SAYDavid Rose has founded two medical device companies, Ambient Devices and Vitality, at the Cambridge center: “There is a viral energy and camaraderie. You can get a lot of good advice simply by walking into the elevator.”
  • QUESTIONS TO ASK Can you break the lease? What kinds of companies are current tenants starting? Will the incubator give you contact information for former tenants? What kinds of experiences do staff members have? Will you have contact with outside professionals?
The University
  • PROGRAM Offers access to equipment and experienced staff.
  • COSTTypically free (some programs offer grants) but limited to current students or alumni.
  • EXIT RULESMany programs expect the company to graduate when the student does.
  • EXAMPLES ARCH New Business Incubator at the University of Chicago, Darden Center for Entrepreneurial Leadershipat the University of Virginia.
  • BEST FORStudent entrepreneurs looking to spend the summer or school year fleshing out an idea with the help of professors, fellow students and alumni.
  • HOW IT WORKSBudding entrepreneurs at the University of Virginia’s business incubator, for example, are given a $13,000 stipend and coaching and feedback on their business plans. Participants can also attend lectures and workshops on topics like intellectual property and accounting.
  • GRADUATES SAY George Aspland, Scott Roberts and Adam Rodnitzky graduated in 2008 from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago. Unlike many of their classmates who turned their M.B.A.’s into jobs on Wall Street or with big companies, they decided to start a business together and enrolled in the ARCH incubator. Within a year, their company, ReTel Technologies, had a plan to use crowd- sourcing to analyze surveillance videos. “Our time in the incubator helped us reorient and come up with a plan we could execute,” Mr. Rodnitzky said.
  • QUESTIONS TO ASK Does the program offer a stipend? What restrictions come with the money? Who are the professors and the staff members who will be advising you and what kinds of experiences do they have?
The Niche
  • PROGRAMMost niche incubators offer facilities and advice at a reduced cost to companies with a specialized focus — for example, food or social entrepreneurship.
  • COSTTypically fee-based although some programs take equity stakes.
  • EXIT RULESMost operate like the classic model.
  • EXAMPLES Blue Ridge Food Ventures (Asheville, N.C.); Sparkseed(San Francisco).
  • BEST FORFirst-timers who require specialized instruction or access to specialized equipment.
  • HOW IT WORKSMany aspiring food entrepreneurs think they can make a few dollars selling cookies made with their grandmother’s secret recipe, said Mary Lou Surgi, executive director of Blue Ridge Food Ventures, but most do not have the equipment or the wherewithal to build a business. At Blue Ridge, they can also take classes offered by Ms. Surgi: “Most people that come here have never even thought of things like food safety or how to market and distribute their product.”
  • GRADUATES SAYJeannine Buscher and Sarah Schomber, the founders of Buchi, which makes fermented and unpasteurized tea: “We could never have afforded the kind of place we have now two years ago,” Ms. Buscher said. “It’s hard to say what kind of business we would have today if we didn’t have Blue Ridge Food Ventures to help us get started.” They started out in Ms. Buscher’s dining room but now brew their bottled beverages in a 6,000-foot-facility of their own.
  • QUESTIONS TO ASK What kinds of companies are current tenants starting? Will the incubator give you contact information for former tenants? What kinds of experiences have staff members had? Are they knowledgeable about the specific kind of business you are considering?
Accelerator
  • PROGRAMMost accelerators, which are run by groups of experienced business owners and investors, require entrepreneurs to move to a facility for a specified amount of time. Eventually, they are given the opportunity to market their businesses to investors.
  • COSTTypically a 6 percent equity stake in return for about $18,000 in seed financing.
  • EXIT RULESPrograms usually last for 90 days, although companies can continue to use the program’s network of mentors.
  • EXAMPLES TechStars (Boston; Boulder, Colo.; New York; Portland, Ore.), Y Combinator (San Francisco); Joystick Labs (Raleigh, N.C.)
  • BEST FORFast-growth companies that want to attract investors.
  • HOW IT WORKS You get 90 days of intense focus from a team of experienced entrepreneurs and investors, said Brad Feld, co-founder of TechStars. While TechStars aims at technology companies, Y Combinator accepts a wide variety of companies. The Brandery, in Cincinnati, provides 90 days of feedback on a company’s marketing and advertising strategies. Joystick Labs accepts only entrepreneurs interested in building gaming companies.
  • GRADUATES SAY Lina Chen, chief executive of Nix Hydra Games, moved from Shanghai to Raleigh to connect with smart, ambitious people at Joystick Labs. “I felt that participating in the program would save us time and money in the long run because of the kind of people who would be helping us grow our company,” Ms. Chen said.
  • QUESTIONS TO ASK How much equity do you have to give up to participate? How much investment capital do you receive in return? Who are the mentors you will be working with? How many of the program’s graduates have raised money or found a buyer? Can you contact them? Where will you live while participating in the program?

For Entrepreneurs Who Need More Flexibility in Their Schedule:

For people who may not be able to participate in an in-person incubator, The Global Entrepreneurship Institute (GEI) is a non-profit educational organization that advises and educates entrepreneurs throught their GCASEONLINE incubator program.

Virtual Incubation Network is a new program to foster new businesses through a network of virtual incubators at community colleges in 11 states. This is a multiyear project primarily targeting community colleges in geographically isolated and hard-to-serve areas.

 

Programs to Help Minority Entrepreneurs

Here are some of the resources that are specifically for entrepreneurs who are members of a minority group:

Programs to Help Women Entrepreneurs

Here are some of the programs that are specifically designed to help women entrepreneurs launch their ventures:

TechCocktail working with other grups, interviewed VC’s, Angels, and program graduates and ranked a list of start up programs based on the following methodology: It weighed 25 percent by qualified financing events (i.e. companies that got funded after completing the program), 50 percent by the success of the companies that came out of an accelerator and finally 25 percent on accelerator program characteristics (i.e. money startups receive, equity accelerator takes, with a bonus for the size of the alumni base). Each accelerator was put through this methodology and then the rankings were generated. Here is the final ranking: (click to enlarge)
