YOUR REAL ODDS
Shortlisted candidates are contacted after each monthly deadline, but no public data on number of winners or acceptance rate is available.
Applications are accepted monthly, which means competition resets regularly and you are not waiting a full year for another shot.
WHAT IT TAKES
Pay the $25 application fee and submit your application online — 30–60 minutes
Wait for shortlist notification after the monthly deadline — A few weeks post-deadline
WORTH KNOWING
The program explicitly has no strings attached, meaning no equity or repayment requirements. Reviewing past winners on their site before applying can help you understand what kinds of businesses have been selected.
