Your real odds
No acceptance rate is published, and the portfolio skews toward underrepresented founders, which is the clearest signal of who gets in.
They invest at pre-seed across all industries, so the applicant pool is broad and the competition is real, but founders who don't fit the Silicon Valley insider mold are explicitly who they target.

Worth knowing
