CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Competitive — Village Capital runs cohort-based accelerator programs, so spots are limited per cycle.
The program accepts startups globally across multiple geographies (examples include founders from Malaysia, Mexico, Egypt, Nigeria, Portugal, and the US), which means you are competing with an international pool of applicants.
WHAT IT TAKES
Find an open program matching your theme and region on vilcap.com — 30–60 minutes
Submit a program application — 2–5 hours
If selected, participate in the accelerator cohort to access capital — Weeks to months
WORTH KNOWING
Village Capital deploys capital through multiple structures — equity, debt, and revenue-share — so if standard VC equity is not right for your business model, there may still be a fit.
