Funding / Anywhere / Closing in December 2026
Short answer. 3 programs for founders in any country close in December 2026: 3 accelerators. The first closes on 1 Dec 2026 (BioTools Innovator 2027) and the last on 27 Dec 2026 (AppWorks Accelerator AW#34).
Want funding that takes no equity? See the no-equity startup grants list.
That is 3 of the 5 Anywhere programs in my base that have a written closing date, more than any other month. The other 18 of the 23 that are not closed have no written date (10 rolling, 8 with no deadline found) and are not in this count. Each row below was opened on the program's own page on 10 Nov 2026, and a program whose date has passed leaves this page without anyone editing a line. The rest of the list is on open funding in any country.
Closing in December 2026 (3)
Soonest first. Amount and closing date are the program's own words; a fact I did not find says not found. A date with a time is in UTC.

How current is this list?
Each row says the day its program's page was last read; the rows here were read 10 Nov to 12 Nov 2026. Open the program's page before you apply: dates and terms change.
What this list does not tell you
It does not say whether you are eligible: many rows are limited to a place, a field or who the founder is, and the program's page is the rule. It does not include programs with no written closing date, and it never converts or rounds an amount. It is information, not advice or an offer. A program is not listed once its deadline has passed or when its link was found dead on two checks in a row.
