That was surprisingly fast, I thought there was some kind of waiting list that was years long. The $10,000 AUD absolutely stops me applying.

There's a waiting list. I applied on the first day and only just got access.

They did indeed have a waitlist. I was number 215000 or so to sign up, according to them.

When I applied, they said the queue was backed up.

I spent 25 minutes applying twice before getting approved... last week.

I applied with the same criteria, and it took about a month to be accepted.

Yeah nice. What was so painful about the application process?

Did you applied remotely? That usually takes a bit longer.

We (Adioso - W09) submitted our application in the last ~18 hours. The cut-off was 4pm Saturday Australian time, so we spent Friday afternoon on the application and submitted it in the evening.

I'd been aware of the impending deadline a couple weeks out, but as we didn't rate ourselves as a big chance we didn't make it a priority. At the beginning of that week I decided that if we had time, we'd spend Friday afternoon on an application, on the off chance we'd get through. Had something important come up relating to a paying client (we were both contracting at the time), it's quite possible we'd have forgotten about it.

It was only after finishing, that from reading through it ourselves and showing it to Fenn's girlfriend, we thought "hey, this actually isn't too bad, maybe we have a chance".

I applied March 16 and I'm still waiting.

I suggest applying again. Approvals are happening at a faster rate.

UPDATE: My application was approved within 30 minutes.

Have you tried getting on the waitlist? It worked for me, ISTR it took around 2 weeks.

simon_acca | karma 921 | avg karma 3.07 · | 2017-04-18 20:57:07

That happened just after the application deadline, I think.

wdmytriy | karma 2 | avg karma 0.67 · | 2015-04-13 13:32:33+00:00

we got it near 23PM on the 10th. Applied on a last day.

xenospn | karma 767 | avg karma 0.57 · | 2019-06-20 00:35:24+00:00

Same. I got $1300 credit simply for applying.

cowholio4 | karma 198 | avg karma 3.3 · | 2016-06-04 08:10:20

I applied yesterday when my app broke and was approved today. So less than 24 hours.

throwingrocks | karma 112 | avg karma 2.38 · | 2023-10-23 07:08:24

Looks like the application process will take a few minutes online. Why is this news right now?

inDigiNeous | karma 694 | avg karma 1.75 · | 2022-11-27 05:31:01

Thank you, I will check it out. Yeah I think the deadlines are already over, the whole process was quite shady and I did not even realize you can apply, until the deadlines were over.

MK5 | karma 25 | avg karma 1.32 · | 2010-09-28 08:28:54+00:00

Applied last week. Wait & see :)
