Startup programs that ended
Startup programs close, change hands or quietly disappear while other lists keep repeating them. These are the ones we removed after reading the provider's own site, with what each offered and what to use instead.
31 programs have left the catalog: 26 ended and 5 were never offered on the provider's own site, only described on other lists. The latest were checked on October 7, 2026. The programs still listed are re-read on their providers' sites on a schedule (see how we check programs).
