CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
The program runs annually and is distributed across six delivery partners, so intake capacity is split across multiple cohorts and founder groups.
No public acceptance rate is listed. Because each partner targets a distinct community, your competition is within your specific cohort rather than the full pool of applicants.
WHAT IT TAKES
Identify which delivery partner matches your background and location — 1–2 hours
Apply through the relevant partner organisation (e.g. I2N, UNSW Founders, Barayamal, Catalysr, First Nations Economics, or Remarkable) — Half a day
Complete the pre-accelerator program (8–12 weeks depending on partner) — 8–12 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
Some partners like Barayamal offer micro-grants to cover participation costs, which means the program is designed to remove financial barriers to joining, not just provide training.
