Your real odds
Only a small number of applicants win, and finalists are announced publicly, so the competition is national and the field narrows sharply.
Selection runs across multiple rounds, cutting a large national applicant pool down to a publicly named finalist group, and the funder weighs that process seriously.
What it takes

Prepare and submit your application2 to 4 days
Participate as a finalist in the awards event
Worth knowing
The program also names 'Ones to Watch' recipients, so reaching the finalist stage without winning still puts your business in front of a national audience.
