Your real odds
No public acceptance rate exists, but selection is competitive and the program runs one cohort annually.
Stage 1 awards €5,000 to selected teams, and only those who complete Stage 1, incorporate, and validate their MVP are eligible to compete for the Stage 2 prize of up to €25,000. Every accepted venture gives 28DIGITAL 5% equity via a SAFE, regardless of how far they advance.

Worth knowing
That 5% SAFE applies to all selected ventures, so the equity cost is the same whether you win €25,000 or exit after Stage 1, and most applicants underweight this when deciding whether to apply.
