Any way to add a "legitimacy" metric, whether that's notable companies, company success rate, total market cap of graduated companies, etc.

+1 to this request and [years in business, companies funded and unicorns/exits]

This is great for founders... I'm working on a tool for founders to create apps without writing code [1] and anything that gives founders leverage with capital or time is critical to success.

I will add all these features soon, thanks for the feedback. Your product seems an interesting tool, good luck!

This would be cool. Founding year and # of companies would be helpful. I think these are a long game and a lot of them seem to fade out after 3-4 batches.

Agree, there are hundreds of programs in F6S, shut down in a year or so, but still their applications are open. That's one of the reasons I wanted to curate such a list, which will be up-to-date all year.

This is among my to-do list, as many people requested such metrics. I will add them asap. If you subscribe to the e-mail list from the website, whenever I add those metrics or any other update, you'll be notified about all.

Great resource for founders and to be founders! I bet a lot of people here including myself will find it very useful!
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by hamid_ra on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @11:45AM (#22299878)
Also a feedback. Since you’ve already put the effort to make it a website it might be worth add a filter tab/button so the users can filter them based on different dimensions(e.x city, equity, ...)
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by bozkan on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @03:13PM (#22302293)
This feedback came from many other people including my wife, so my next task is certain now:) I will add a filter based on multiple variants.

I am glad you found it useful, thanks!

yep! +1 ... thanks OP ... very timely!

you're welcome!

A perhaps useful next step would be a “common app” to fill out one application and apply to all of these at once.
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by bozkan on Wednesday February 12, 2020 @05:31AM (#22307641)
Someone else also had suggested it. Then I started contacting some accelerators about such a feature. They seemed very interested in it.

It is a bit challenging to implement, but would be very useful. After your feedback, this feature is now validated, and among my todo list!

Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by breck on Thursday February 13, 2020 @06:48PM (#22322553)
Cool. Happy to provide feedback (maybe even some implementation help if that would be helpful) as this might be something I would use and certainly would recommend it to folks. The SUS community would love this, I think, though I suspect you’ve already talked about it in there.

Sorry for answering you so late Breck. I realized I missed your reply (I was trying to recover from some painful flu)

It would be great to get more feedback and any kind of help. I am now contacting you by e-mail. Thanks!

masschallenge appears to be missing from the list. is this only targeting for-profit accelerators?
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by bozkan on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @02:49PM (#22302040)
no, it is targeting any type of accelerators & incubator. my fault, forgot it. Thanks a lot for reminding me!

Appreciate your huge effort. Why did you decide to curate such a list?
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by bozkan on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @10:49AM (#22299374)
I've recently applied to many programs with my startup, Episolo.com, which is a marketplace for startup mentorship. When I realized my bookmark list was too long just for me, I decided to make a simple website and share them with other people.

Nice list. It'd be nice to have a few more filters though.
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by bozkan on Wednesday February 12, 2020 @09:00AM (#22308843)
thanks! Filters are on the way, will be live in 1-2 days!
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by gshdg on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @06:33PM (#22304142)
Have you considered a filter by location?
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by bozkan on Wednesday February 12, 2020 @05:22AM (#22307596)
Yes, filtering by multiple factors such as location, categor etc. is the most requested feature. It is nearly finished and will be available soon.

Do you have a plan on monetizing this?
Re:Show HN: A curated list of 250 startup incubators and acc... by bozkan on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @10:50AM (#22299384)
Currently, no. I may consider it as a traffic resource to my other projects.
