Your real odds
The fund deploys $5 million annually in investments of up to $1 million each, so roughly five or more companies get funded per year.
TruStage joins as a syndicate investor rather than a lead, co-investing alongside others, and applications are rolling with no single cohort deadline.

Worth knowing
Having a lead investor already lined up or in active conversation will strengthen your application, because TruStage only enters as a syndicate partner and needs someone else at the front of the round.
