YOUR REAL ODDS

Cohort 5 accepted 10 startups, so spots are limited each cycle.

All applicants are pre-screened first, then strong candidates advance to interviews — it's a multi-step selection process. Previous applicants can reapply, which suggests the bar is real but the door stays open.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Check eligibility and talk to a JumpStart advisor to confirm fit — 1-2 hours

  2. Submit application (previous applicants must show progress since last submission) — A few hours

  3. Complete interview if advanced past pre-screening — 1-2 weeks after submission

  4. Complete 3-month accelerator plus 2 months of capital-raising support — 5 months total

WORTH KNOWING

The program is non-dilutive with no fees or equity taken, and includes two extra months of post-program support from serial entrepreneurs specifically focused on closing a capital raise.
