Your real odds
Playfair makes only 6 new investments per year from a £57m fund, so the bar is genuinely high.
They co-invest in 100% of deals and write cheques from £100k for angel rounds up to £1.5m for the largest pre-seed rounds, with capacity to deploy up to £5m per company including follow-on.

Worth knowing
60% of their fund is reserved for follow-on, and their pre-seed to Series A graduation rate is 78%, roughly 4x the industry average, so they are selecting for companies they plan to back repeatedly, not just at entry.
