All programs use the same 9-step application journey: application submission, AI evaluation, an evaluation call, an information hub, e-signature, program payment, an onboarding call, and mentor selection.

<Note>
  After you submit an application, you gain Applicant access (Tier 2). This unlocks the community, founders directory, workshops, events, and your application status page.
