Startup accelerators have been around for years, but 2015 marks the 10-year anniversary of when business incubation truly became popular.

Accelerators like Y Combinator and Techstars figured out in 2005 and 2006 that providing seed money, advice, and connections over a condensed period of time can help businesses grow. They helped pave the way for all the startup accelerators we see today.
