YOUR REAL ODDS

This is a cohort-based program with a short, structured selection window, so spots are limited and competitive.

The program runs regionally, meaning only founders near specific metro areas are eligible in any given cycle. The application, review, and interview process spans roughly six weeks, and finalists are notified before live sessions begin.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Confirm you meet all criteria (revenue, geography, tech component, ownership) — 30 minutes

  2. Submit the regional application (Northern California or Nashville) — 1–2 hours

  3. Complete an interview if selected for review — 1–2 hours

WORTH KNOWING

The program includes a 'Lift While We Climb Commitment,' so be prepared to articulate how you plan to support other entrepreneurs — this is an explicit requirement, not optional.
