The Data Incubator is an 8-week educational fellowship preparing students with Master's degrees and PhDs for careers in big data and data science.[2] It was founded in 2012.[2] The fellowship's expenses are paid for by hiring companies and it remains free for admitted fellows.[1] The program has four campuses: New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Online.[1] The program also offers corporate training to Fortune 500 clients.[3]

According to Venture Beat, the program had over 1000 applicants from over 80 universities in its first round and accepted just under 3% of all applicants.[4] The program was selected by Business Insider as one of 15 competitive programs in the US with more competitive admissions than Harvard.[5]

History

The Data Incubator was founded in 2014 in New York City by Michael Li, a former data scientist at local-mobile-social startup Foursquare and Andreessen Horowitz.[6][7] The company was incubated by Cornell Tech.[6] In 2015, the program launched in Washington, DC and San Francisco.[8] In December 2015, the program established their first international campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with support from the national government.[9] In April 2016, the program launched a program in the United Kingdom with government support through The Data Lab.[10][11]

Reception

The Data Incubator was ranked second by Data Economy for Data Science Incubators.[12] The fellowship has garnered the attention of many businesses in Wall Street and Silicon Valley and works with companies including Mashable, the New York Times, Palantir, EBay, AIG, Yelp, Genentech, Capital One, and Pfizer.[4][8]

The program's alumni have gone on to work as data scientists at prominent companies and government agencies like
