The Verified Active badge

We check every accelerator in our directory against its own website. 1,968 programs currently pass both checks (last swept Jul 2026) — if yours is one of them, you can display the badge on your site.

What the badge certifies

It is a factual status claim, not an endorsement or a ranking. A program earns it when both are true on our most recent sweep:

  • The website responded. Our automated check reached the program's site — it isn't offline, erroring, or parked.
  • No adverse review. We found no evidence the program has stopped running cohorts, and the site didn't block our checker.

We re-check monthly. If a program goes dark, it loses the badge at the next sweep and its listing is relabelled — that's what makes the badge worth displaying. See how we check →
