AngelPad

AngelPad is an American seed-stage startup incubator, launched in September 2010 by Thomas Korte and Carine Magescas with six other former Google employees as mentors. AngelPad provides mentorship, seed money, and networking at two 10-week courses per year.

AngelPad attracted attention in August 2011 after announcing that each of its startups will have the option to accept $100,000 from two venture capital firms at the start of their class.

The incubator has often been compared to Y Combinator.

AngelPad has consistently been ranked among the top startup accelerators in the United States according to 'The Seed Accelerator Rankings' each year. The rankings are developed by MIT, the University of Richmond and Brown University. They evaluate over 160 US Accelerators every year.
