Your real odds
The 2026 cycle closed early due to high volume, which tells you this fund sees real demand for its slots.
One cycle runs per year with decisions announced in fall, and the shift to an invited process means getting on the funder's radar before the next cycle opens is more useful than waiting for a portal to go live.
