According to it's website, the program has four campuses: New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Online.[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 Data Incubator was selected by Business Insider as one of 15 competitive programs in the US with more competitive admissions than Harvard.[5] In an interview, the company talks about its use of "data-driven hiring for data scientists".[6]
