Startups in Delaware have access to plenty of resources — if they know where to find them.
From free programs to competitive accelerators to pay-as-you-go business incubators, there are different types of opportunities to fit various business needs.
While the majority of accelerators and incubators in Delaware are unsurprisingly located upstate, around Wilmington and Newark, there are resources in all three counties, including in Middletown, Dover and Georgetown. And virtual programs, of course, can be done from anywhere.
If you don’t find an incubator nearby, don’t forget about resources like Delaware Libraries, which offer services for entrepreneurs at locations up and down the state.

💡What’s the difference between incubators and accelerators?
Incubators are generally programs where entrepreneurs can find early-stage mentoring and resources to develop their business. They often include an opportunity for office or lab space, and typically have longer, more flexible timelines.
Accelerators are typically highly structured, intensive, cohort-based programs that last for a set time period — usually anywhere from four weeks to several months. Often involving a competitive application process, they may be virtual, hybrid or in-person, and often require a commitment to meet with the cohort on a regular basis.
