Your real odds
Slauson runs one cohort per year and has graduated four cohorts since 2022, so the annual selection is small.
This is a curated accelerator, not an open grant, and selection weighs founder fit and business vision more heavily than a written application alone.

Worth knowing
Slauson frames this explicitly as economic inclusion work, so founders who speak authentically to underrepresented community building and cultural insight are the ones the selection team is listening for.
