AngelPad is a seed-stage accelerator program based in NYC and San Francisco. Since 2010, it has launched more than 140 companies. Every 6 months, they select around 15 teams from a huge pool of applicants (usually around 2000) to work with. AngelPad was recently ranked as the number one accelerator in the US (based on a study from MIT/Brown University). AngelPad has been called the “Anti-Y Combinator” due to its strategy of working with fewer teams on a yearly basis.
