Your real odds
Delta v is MIT's flagship accelerator, so the cohort is small and competition is intense.
The program runs once a year with a structured interview and acceptance process, and only a fraction of applicants get through. Their explicit openness to solo founders means team composition is one less filter working against you.
What it takes
Build a prototype and gather customer signals
Attend an info session or office hours1 to 2 hrs
Submit application by the deadline2 to 4 days
Interview then await acceptance decision
Worth knowing
The $75K is equity-free, but the larger number is the $200K-plus in software perks from AWS, GitHub, Stripe, and Carta, and most applicants underestimate that total when they're deciding whether to apply.
