Email me new programs
Programs open to founders anywhere that are new to my list and whose deadline is ahead, one letter a week at most and only when something new fits. You confirm by email first; every letter has a link to stop it.
Counted on 2 Nov 2026 from the rows in the table. "Open anywhere" means the program's own page names no country limit for the founder. It does not mean every company can apply: see "Who can apply" in each row. A program whose deadline has passed is left out, and so is one whose link was found dead on two checks in a row.

What this list does not replace
This list is information, not advice or an offer. It does not replace the program's own rules and terms: an investment is an equity or SAFE deal and a grant can carry conditions, so read the terms on the program's page, and ask a lawyer or an accountant before you sign anything. It also does not replace a check of your own eligibility: a program that is open to founders anywhere can still ask for a registered company, a stage or a place to be present in person. And it is one reading of each page on the day shown in "Read on", not a live feed.
Questions
Which startup accelerators accept founders from any country?
On 2 Nov 2026, 14 accelerators in Wanna's base accept founders from any country and have not closed: 4 with a closing date, 8 rolling and 2 with no deadline found. Of the 14, 1 is marked equity-free, 11 take equity and 2 do not say. The table on this page lists each one with its amount, deadline, who can apply, the date its page was last read and a link to the program's own page.
Can a founder outside the United States join an accelerator?
Where the program's own page names no country limit for the founder, this list counts it as open anywhere. It can still ask for a registered company, a stage, a sector or in-person attendance, and the "Who can apply" column quotes what the record says. If the record does not say, the cell says "not found".
Do these accelerators take equity?
Only the record's own word is used: 1 marked equity-free, 11 marked as taking equity, 2 that do not say. Read the program's page for the terms before you apply.
How do I find out which of these programs fit my company?
Paste your link on this page: Wanna reads your site and keeps the programs that fit your country and stage. The free grants finder at /grants-finder lists the ones not closed for the country and stage you pick, with no sign-up.
