Robert Shedd » Blog Archive » Help for Startups! – A semi-complete list of startup accelerator programs This is a post I’ve had a running draft of for some time. I’m happy to be getting it out of my draft bin and out onto the web! Josh Kopelman of First Round Capital spoke at DreamIt Ventures this summer. During his talk, Josh mentioned how he expects to see an increasing number of DreamIt/TechStars/Y Combinator-style locally-focused “seed stage startup accelerator” programs in the coming years. This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. But I wasn’t really sure how many programs were out there, nor have I been able to find a comprehensive list anywhere else. So, here is the list I’ve been compiling – I’m sure I’m forgetting a few – what else is out there?

OuiShare About Us | Biilink Biilink was launched more than a year ago and initially defined itself as an initiative and mutual support social network for women. Biilink has all the standard social network features and provides a comprehensive range of social tools, such as a wall, profiles, friendships, personal message system, publication of articles, photos and videos. We have integrated “Business pages” inspired by Facebook® pages, which enable project leaders and entrepreneurs to publish their own pages about projects and businesses. This feature, as well as the competitions we had organised to develop and promote women entrepreneurship, proved to be highly successful amongst the business women we were targeting. In reality, Biilink naturally orientated itself further still towards women entrepreneurship and brought together a community of female project leaders, who were particularly active in the fields of innovation, on-line services and typical “startup” profiles. Over 18 months, 25,000 members joined.
