Background

The program combines investor pitches, a selection week, a retreat, mentoring, growth support, and international expansion. Its official portfolio metrics report 19 markets and more than $174 million raised, but founders should compare that network value against the fee and dual dilution layers.

How the application really works

Apply for Cohort 14, complete two to three interviews, and if shortlisted join a virtual selection week before final admission.

Tips

Read the cited current official page before applying because program dates and terms are volatile.
State fit with the documented stage, geography, and attendance model; do not rely on an aggregator's old terms.
Ask for the complete investment, fee, and follow-on documents when the public page does not publish them.

Watch out for

Up to $250k SAFE ($100k upfront and up to $150k follow-on), plus a $35k program fee deducted from the investment and 3% equity.
Applications for Cohort 14 are open, but no exact cutoff is published. Model the $35k deducted fee and 3% equity separately from SAFE dilution.

Track record

Official portfolio metrics report $174M+ raised across 19 markets.
