We are proud to be a @draper_u portfolio company!
... AND a @MassChallenge 2025 Security & Resiliency Accelerator alum!
... AND a @tampabaywave BlueTech Cohort #1 alum!
Great list from @TIME 👏Thank you to everyone at each of our accelerator partners for the work they do!
We’re proud to share that Draper University has been ranked #25 on TIME and Statista’s 2026 list of America’s Best Incubators and Accelerators.
What makes this one especially meaningful to us: the majority of the ranking is based on feedback from founders themselves.
Alumni recommendations account for 40% of the score, while alumni ratings across six areas of their program experience make up another 45%. The remaining 15% reflects track record and expert recommendations.
Since 2012, we’ve built DraperU around the belief championed by @TimDraper : ambitious people progress fastest when you put them in the same building, surround them with people who challenge them, and give them access to a network that continues long after the program ends.
So while we’re proud of the #25, we’re even more proud that the founders who have actually lived the DraperU experience are the reason we got there.
Thank you to our alumni, this one is yours! 🚀
