Techcocktail has a great article on a list of the best start-up incubators for entrepreneurs.
Here's the list that they showed:
One of the managing directors at Techstars visited my school as a speaker, and he said that not all start-ups that went through the incubator program succeeds, but he said that even if you fail, you still learn a lot from that experience. And a good thing about the accelerator programs is that you receive a lot of supports from people in start-up accelerators and you get to network with many many entrepreneurs. Surrounding yourself with entrepreneurs- always good for you!
He also said that having a great idea is not as important as building a good team. A great idea means nothing without a good team. I actually disagree with him because there are a lot of start-ups built by one person. I think it depends on what your work style is. If you hate working with someone, and you prefer working alone, go for it. Why not? You can just hire someone to help you. Don't worry about having co-founders. Starting your business with your friends or friends of friends could turn out worse in that case. It's always good to have an in-house full-time computer engineer for your company, but it is ok if you don't have one. There are many tools out there to help you build a great website. You can always build a good team later too. No need to rush or panic.
Anyway, whether you want to start your company alone or as a team, consider applying to one of those incubator programs. It can help turn your dream into reality faster than you think!
