Can you get this?
✓Invests up to $1M in new startups
✓Highly selective program for founders
✓Open to startups needing visa support
Your real odds
The program calls itself 'extremely selective,' and the 600+ founders accepted across all cohorts gives you a rough sense of total historical volume, not a per-cohort acceptance rate.
No acceptance rate is published, so you are working from the 'extremely selective' label and a16z's brand to infer how competitive this is. The 600+ lifetime figure tells you something about scale, but nothing about your odds in any given cycle.
