What it looks like

An incubator supports company formation over a longer, looser period than an accelerator.

Who it is for: founders at the idea or very early stage, often tied to a university, city, or sector.

What you get: workspace, coaching, services, and a community. Some invest; many do not.

How people get in: rolling applications are common. Fit with the host institution or sector usually matters most.

The programs here say they do not pay participants. What you get is access, training, and a network rather than money.
