Your real odds
The program has awarded grants annually since 2022 as part of a $1.5 million, three-year commitment with Sage, but the number of winners per cycle is not publicly specified, so you have no way to calculate your odds going in.
Winners are announced each year in late March, and selection criteria are not publicly detailed beyond what appears in the fine print.

Worth knowing
The grant comes with business and financial coaching, so what you are actually applying for is structured support alongside the cash, and applicants who treat it as a pure funding play are likely underselling themselves.
