YOUR REAL ODDS

Competitive — they have a small, selective portfolio with names like Canva and Anthropic.

The publicly listed portfolio is limited in size, which suggests highly selective deal flow. No acceptance rate data is available.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Review their portfolio to assess fit — 1-2 hours

  2. Prepare pitch deck and financials — 1-2 weeks

  3. Submit via their website — 1 hour

WORTH KNOWING

Their portfolio spans AI, healthcare access, freight tech, and fintech — they appear open to mission-driven companies solving access or infrastructure problems, not just pure SaaS.
