Your real odds
No public acceptance rate exists, and this is a selective VC firm, not a grant program.
You are submitting an interest form, not a formal application, so fit is assessed before anyone follows up with you. Competition is real, and companies that fall outside their fund criteria will not hear back.
What it takes
Submit the founder interest form15 to 30 min
Wait for outreach if a fit
Engage with their team if contacted
Worth knowing
The Helm runs an angel investor network alongside Fund II, so if you fall outside the fund's criteria, you still have a shot at being connected to individual angel investors.
