Accelerator & Founder Deadline Watch

Track early-stage founder funding. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days that are new, newly open, or close within 21 days and have not appeared in this Tab: application windows for Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 Global, Antler, Entrepreneur First, a16z speedrun, Sequoia Arc, Neo, Pear, HAX, MassChallenge, gener8tor and industry accelerators; founder fellowships and non-dilutive grants such as the Thiel Fellowship, Emergent Ventures and SBIR and STTR deadlines; pitch competitions with cash prizes of $10,000 or more; cloud, software and bank credit programs from AWS, Google, Microsoft, Stripe, Mercury and Brex; and SEC, state and platform rule changes affecting crowdfunding, SAFEs or accredited investors. Prefer program pages, SBIR.gov, SEC releases and established startup reporting; ignore pay-to-pitch events and unverified posts. Put the program first in the title with the deadline and the amount. Use high severity for a deadline within 10 days for a top-tier program or a grant of $50,000 or more. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for who qualifies, what you get, the effort, how to apply, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
