Your real odds
Approval rates are not public, but eligibility is tied to Wildflower network membership, which keeps the applicant pool narrow by design.
The pool is bounded by affiliation, not open competition, and Wildflower operates 80+ schools across 22 states, so you are being weighed against a defined peer community rather than the broader lending market.

Worth knowing
Wildflower Foundation also offers startup grants alongside this loan fund, so it is worth exploring both options through the same organization at the same time rather than treating them as separate processes.
