It may be time to apply for a startup incubator. Find out how to stand out in your application to these leading startup incubators.

Like an incubator that protects and grows eggs, these programs help further develop participants until they are ready to launch a business. Incubators require the founding team’s full attention and dedication to the program, which can take a year or two as the startup moves from idea to prototype and beyond. However, the time sacrifice can lead to a huge payoff. [According to Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbesbusinesscouncil/2021/04/05/rewiring-business-incubators-for-success/), around 87% of startups that participate in an incubator program remain in business after five years. To put this in perspective, around [90% of startups fail](https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/how-many-startups-fail), and 10% of new businesses don’t make it past the first year. Startups have a better shot at success when they spend focused time in an incubator, paired with mentorship and resources available through the program. So where does a founder find these programs, and how does a startup qualify? Here are the top startup incubators this year, plus tips for polishing your incubator applications. [](https://www.hubspot.com)   ## What is a startup incubator? A startup incubator or [business incubator](https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/business-incubator) is a program that a startup team participates in to reach its next milestone or goal. These goals may include developing an idea into a prototype, establishing a thorough business plan, developing a [minimum viable product (MVP)](https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/minimum-viable-product), or overcoming sales or customer service challenges. Incubator programs typically have flexible schedules, but depending on the program, applicants must make a long-term commitment of up to a couple of years.  During that time, the incubator host will provide startups with business resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities. Many incubators are offered through universities or nonprofit organizations and require little, if any, equity in exchange for the perks. However, corporate incubators may require 3% to 10% equity for participation. Unlike accelerator programs, which help venture-backed startups scale by providing business resources and funding, incubators are geared more toward very young startups, even those in the idea stage.

Check out our [privacy policy](https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy)  ### Benefits of an incubator There are many benefits for startups that participate in an [incubator](https://www.hubspot.com/startups/resources/what-is-an-incubator), including: - __Mentorship:__ Incubators provide expert mentorship to participating startups, and many startups work with those mentors throughout the course of their companies. - __Resources:__ Startups often receive perks such as office space, access to lab equipment, free or reduced-cost software, and other resources to help them launch their ideas. - __Networking:__ Incubators have extensive networks of past and present participants and mentors. - __Focused startup development:__ Incubator programs offer the time and space to be fully dedicated to startup development to create a strong foundation for a successful business. - __Potential funding:__ Some incubators offer small amounts of funding at the end of the program or help startups prepare their business foundations to impress investors later. [](https://www.hubspot.com)   ## Choosing the right incubator for your startup Before you apply for incubators, make sure that the program makes sense for your needs. If you are saving up money to start a business, you may not have the budget to fly across the world to participate in an on-site program, especially without certain perks like workspaces. According to a 2023 study in the [*Journal of Business Research*](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0148296323002606), there are more than 10,000 incubators globally. While the competition to get into an incubator is still high with so many new businesses starting each year, there are still plenty of options to consider.  When considering incubator programs, keep the following criteria in mind. ### Location When possible, look for local incubators or even virtual programs to save on transportation and/or relocation costs. ### Industry focus If you’re a B2C startup, don’t waste time applying to an incubator that focuses on promoting B2B health tech companies. Make sure the programs you apply to match the industry you’re targeting. ### Program size Do you work best in a smaller, tight-knit cohort, or do you prefer a bigger group with which to share ideas? Research incubator cohort sizes to find options that suit your preferences. ### Program length Incubators typically require a longer commitment, at least one to two years, for idea and business development. However, shorter programs are available if you want to focus on one problem or milestone. ### Leaders Consider the mentors or program leaders. Do they have experience in your industry? Have they worked with or even invested in similar startups? Consider applying to incubators with mentors that best align with your startup. ### Resources and benefits Incubators may offer varying levels of perks. If you need office space or lab access, look for programs that offer those services. ### Equity requirements Some incubators require you to give a small percentage of equity, while other programs may not require any equity. Weigh the equity requirements alongside the benefits offered to figure out what best meets your startup’s needs. It may be worth offering up some equity for bigger perks, such as funding. [](https://www.hubspot.com)   ## How to apply for startup incubators The incubator application process varies from program to program, but there are some general best practices to increase your approval odds. First, many incubator programs are best for young startups that are not yet making revenue and are not backed by VCs. If you run a VC-backed startup, consider applying to an [accelerator](https://www.hubspot.com/startups/resources/what-is-an-accelerator) instead. Incubator programs work best with at least two team members, so assemble [a founding team](https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/startup-founder) and compile information about each member to include in the application. One of the most important parts of the incubator application process is highlighting the goals or milestones the startup should meet within the program. These may include building a strong business plan, developing the MVP, proving product-market fit, or preparing to launch a product in the target market. If you are past the idea stage, make sure to have at least an early business plan, which you can further develop as part of the incubator. You can also compile your market analysis and competitor information to strengthen your application. From there, just be sure to include any specific requirements for each incubator application.
