YOUR REAL ODDS
Cohort size is not disclosed in the source, so exact selectivity is unknown, but EY runs this as a structured annual program with a formal application window.
Because EY is a major firm with significant brand appeal and the program costs applicants nothing, competition is likely meaningful. Strongest candidates will have clear growth trajectory and readiness to engage a 12-month program.

WORTH KNOWING
This program connects founders to EY's professional network and resources rather than providing cash, so it is best suited for founders who want advisory support, credibility, and access to EY's ecosystem rather than direct capital.
