Next cohort not yet announced

These programs are active but have not published a next window. We re-check them weekly, and this page will say so until they do.

  • Afreximbank Flagship Accelerator Program — Deadline has passed and form submissions are no longer available
  • Alliance Accelerator — The page displays an application date of September 23 but does not print a year; therefore no dated deadline is recorded.
  • AppWorks Accelerator — AppWorks #33 is closed; the page lists the next application window as October–December 2026 without a precise deadline.
  • Blockchain Founders Group Accelerator — Applications for S7 are closed; the page says S8 applications were expected to open around July 2025, but no newer dated cohort is published.
  • CAFE Fintech Startup Accelerator — Fall 2026 applications are open; no specific closing date is published on the cited page.
  • Copenhagen Fintech Collaborative Innovation Funding — The 2026 application deadline was May 18, 2026; the page says future 2026–2028 calls are planned but their criteria are not yet determined.
  • Copenhagen Fintech Incubation Program — Spring 2026 cohort completed; no later cohort deadline is published.
  • Curinos FinTech Incubator — The 2026 cohort has been selected; no new application deadline is published.
  • DIFC FinTech Hive Accelerator Programmes — The official programmes page confirms active accelerator programmes but publishes no 2026/2027 cohort deadline or financial terms.
  • Encode Programmable Money Accelerator — Entry is through the Arc hackathon; the cited page explicitly gives the final submission deadline for 2026.
  • Entrepreneurs First London — The published Fall 2026 deadline is 2026-08-04 for the London programme; a separate Europe-based Bridge programme lists 2026-08-30.
  • FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific — 2026 applications are closed; no 2027 deadline is published.
  • FinTech Innovation Lab London — 2026 applications are shown as open; the page says applications close November 28th without printing a year, so the deadline is omitted.
  • FinTech Innovation Lab New York — The site lists applications as open until Nov. 25th but does not publish a year for that date.
  • Founder Institute Barcelona — The official schedule lists a Fall 2026 programme and a final application deadline of October 6, 2026.
  • Founders Factory — Each corporate-partnered program runs its own window and its own form, and Founders Factory publishes no group-wide deadline. The index and the individual program pages can disagree on status, so verify on the destination page.
  • Global Insurance Accelerator — The official page invites applications for the 2027 program but gives only a late-July-to-end-of-September application period without a year-specific deadline.

  • Startup Wise Guys — Program length and 2026 cohort deadlines are not published in one place across the portfolio of programs; each program page carries its own dates.
