Global List of Virtual Business Incubators and Accelerators

I had been working on this list for a while and my main objective was to find out how many virtual incubators started before we even thought about starting IdeaGist. My friends know that IdeaGist did not start as a virtual incubator. It was started as a place for people to share their ideas.

If you would like me to add your virtual incubator to this list or help us correct some of the mistakes, please leave us a comment. We have taken the initial list from Vasily Ryzhonkov's site and validated most of them. The status “Inactive” represents that the website does not exist anymore. In many cases, the host organization of the virtual incubator still exists so they are not showing inactive. We have tried to categorize all sites as per their current information. We may have made mistakes and apologize for any errors.

This list is sorted alphabetically but a future addition to this list may not be sorted correctly.
