Superscout is the way into venture for people who see startups first.
If you are close to founders, to a lab, to a cohort or to a community, you already see companies before investors do. Superscout turns that into something you can act on: the scout programs, fellowships and firms that want what you see, a dated record of the startups you spot, and a way to put the right one in front of the right investor with your name on it.
What you get
A map of the way in. Every scout program, fellowship and accelerator, written up the same way: who gets in, what it pays, and whether it is taking applications. Firms come with a founder's guide: what each one says it backs, how it wants to be approached, and which firms sit nearest to it.
A record that adds up. Log the companies you come across, dated, with how you know them and why they matter. Write the memo, get notes on it from working scouts, and build the track record a program reads before it invites anyone.
A route to the right investor. Send a company forward with your name and your memo attached, to a fund whose thesis it matches, so what arrives is worth opening.
How the pages are written
Every page comes from what a program or firm publishes about itself and from linked sources, and shows when it was last reviewed. Where nothing is published, the field stays blank rather than filled with a guess. Nobody pays to be listed, and nobody can, so every page reads the same way whoever it is about.
Corrections
If something is wrong, stale, duplicated or attached to the wrong organization, say so. Name the page, the field and a source that supports the change, and the correction is checked against that source.
How to read a listing
A listing means a program or firm exists and is worth knowing about. It is not an endorsement, a partnership or a promise of access, and it is not legal, financial or investment advice. Application windows, terms and pay change without notice, so check the official page before you act.
