Your real odds

1517 has handed out hundreds of these $1K grants over nearly a decade, so the volume is real, but no public acceptance rate exists.

A team member reviews your submission individually and responds within two weeks if you're a fit, so the bar is demonstrated passion and a compelling project, not a formal pitch competition.

Worth knowing

The grant comes with no equity, no IP claim, and no ownership of anything you build, paid as a Venmo transfer, and if your project grows into a startup, 1517 can follow on with venture investment.
