My friend Ian Hathaway has a Brookings paper out on startup accelerator programs in the US. Here is a summary of the current state of play:
In terms of their geography, accelerator programs are unsurprisingly concentrated in the well-known technology startup hubs and major cities of San Francisco-Silicon Valley, Boston-Cambridge, and New York. These three regions account for about 40 percent of all accelerators in the United States, and almost two-thirds of accelerator-funded deals between 2005 and 2015.
