CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
They have backed 170+ companies across all stages, but this is competitive venture capital, not a grant.
62% of their portfolio founders identify as underrepresented people of color and/or women, and 34–38% of first investments go to those groups — they actively prioritize diverse founders, but capital is still selective and equity-based.
WHAT IT TAKES

Engage in their diligence and founder support process if selected — Weeks to months
