Accelerators & Incubators CRM

Scale startup sourcing, selection, and support with Whitestone CRM.

Accelerator and incubator programs play a critical role in nurturing the next generation of startups. But running these programs at scale is no small task. Teams must source promising founders, manage multiple cohorts simultaneously, and provide ongoing alumni support — all while coordinating with mentors and investors. Generic CRMs simply aren’t designed for this complexity.

Whitestone CRM is purpose-built for accelerators and incubators. From application tracking to mentor management and fundraising support, Whitestone provides a single secure platform to manage every stage of your program. Scale operations, strengthen networks, and deliver greater outcomes for startups.

The Challenge for Accelerators & Incubators

Accelerators and incubators must deliver on three fronts: sourcing high-quality founders, running structured programs, and supporting portfolio companies beyond graduation. Each of these requires careful coordination across mentors, advisors, investors, and program teams.

Traditional CRMs are built for sales pipelines, not startup ecosystems. They fail to capture the nuances of founder relationships, mentor engagement, or the fundraising journeys startups undertake during and after the program. The result is fragmented communication, missed opportunities for founders, and limited visibility for program directors.

As competition between accelerators grows, standing out requires efficiency, transparency, and strong alumni networks. A purpose-built CRM can transform the way programs are run — making it easier to select the right founders, align teams, and provide long-term value.

How Whitestone CRM Helps Accelerators & Incubators

Whitestone CRM was designed with startup programs in mind. It equips accelerators and incubators with tools to manage the full program lifecycle — from sourcing founders to tracking alumni success.

Founder Sourcing & Selection
Use relationship intelligence to uncover warm introductions to promising entrepreneurs. Manage applications in one system and ensure fair, transparent selection processes.
Cohort & Program Management
Keep track of multiple cohorts simultaneously. Organise mentor engagements, track founder progress, and ensure communication flows seamlessly across program teams.
Investor & Fundraising Support
Connect startups with relevant investors through mapped introductions. Track investor interest, monitor fundraising progress, and ensure founders get the support they need.
Alumni Engagement
Maintain strong connections with program graduates. Track milestones, monitor company growth, and leverage alumni networks for future cohorts.

By centralising every aspect of program management, Whitestone helps accelerators and incubators deliver more value — not just during the program, but long after graduation.
