Y Combinator, Antler lead the most active accelerators of 2026, per Value Add VC's tracked data from 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-15. Ranked by deals led, then total deals.
Private, US-tracked rounds only; rumored or "in talks" rounds excluded. Not a market total.
Methodology
Deals tracked by Value Add VC from filings, wire releases and news outlets — not a total for the whole market or a complete list of every Accelerator's activity. Data window: 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-15 (2026 year-to-date).
Investors are matched to this list by the store's own tracked investor-kind classification. Ranked by deals led (lead-investor credit), then total deals participated in. Public companies, debt, fund closes, acquisitions and unverified/rumored rounds are excluded. For individual angel investors, only tracked deal activity is shown — no personal details.
