Your real odds
500 Global draws from a worldwide applicant pool, so competition is high and no acceptance rate is published to tell you exactly how high.
The program has run since 2010, accepts cohorts on a rolling basis, and fills limited slots against global demand, meaning you are up against founders from every region simultaneously.
What it takes
Check fit via program finder1 to 2 hrs
Complete application with startup details2 to 5 hrs
Interview and complete due diligence1 to 3 wks
Worth knowing
500 Global runs regional programs for MENA, LatAm, Eurasia, Egypt, Japan, and Korea, and a tailored local program is a more direct entry point than going straight for the Palo Alto flagship.
