Your real odds
Ada backs roughly 10 to 12 companies per year and leads more than 70% of those deals.
They invest only within three focus areas, climate equity, economic empowerment, and healthy ageing, so the pool of eligible companies is narrower than it looks, and cheque sizes run from £250k to £1mn per deal.

Worth knowing
Ada explicitly assesses founders on qualities rather than credentials or gut feel, which means a clear, direct articulation of your defensible technology and impact angle carries more weight than your background or who you know.
