YOUR REAL ODDS

One winner is selected per grant round, making this highly competitive.

Selection is based on the founder's drive, a clear plan for fund use, business sustainability, and vision for growth. An independent panel reviews all applications equally — Visionaries members get no preference.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Pay the $15 application fee and submit your entry form with three long-form responses — 1–3 hours

  2. Wait for independent panel review — Up to 45 days after deadline

  3. If selected, submit revenue verification documentation — Within 10 days of notification

WORTH KNOWING

The selection criteria explicitly prioritize founders who can execute and sustain growth beyond the grant — your plan for how you'll use the money and evidence of a solid business foundation matter more than broad social impact messaging.
