A training, event or programme here can have a fee, and it says so on the page with a named organisation behind it. Being asked for money in private is different: no fee to process, secure or release anything, and nothing paid to a person instead of an organisation. That is a scam - report it.

Talk to someone from a previous cohort before you accept. Not the one they introduce you to. Find your own.

Find out what they take. Equity, a fee, a revenue share or nothing at all, and on what terms. A programme that will not say plainly is telling you something.

Answer the question they asked, not the one you prepared for. Reviewers read hundreds of these and a beautiful answer to a different question is the easiest kind to put down.
