Why accelerator people make unusually good scouts

You see traction before it is public

Batch companies report weekly. You watch a number move for three months before it shows up in a press release or a funding announcement. By the time an outside investor can see the same slope, the round is usually crowded.

Your judgment is calibrated by volume

Most people evaluate a handful of companies a year. You see a cohort at a time, side by side, under the same conditions. That comparison set is the thing scout programs cannot train and cannot buy.

Founders already trust you

A warm introduction from someone who watched the company get built reads differently from a cold forward. That trust is the asset. It is also the thing to protect, which is why the disclosure rules below are not optional.

Which seat are you in

The path differs by seat, mostly in what you are allowed to share and when.

Questions people in accelerator seats ask

Is scouting a conflict of interest with my accelerator role?
It can be, and that is a question for your program, not for us. The general rule people apply: confidential batch information never travels, you disclose the scout relationship to both sides before you refer anyone, and you do not refer a company whose terms you are also negotiating. Several accelerators have written policies. Ask for yours before you accept a seat.
Do I need permission from the accelerator?
Usually yes, and getting it in writing is the version that protects you. Programs that allow it tend to want the disclosure documented rather than the activity stopped.
Do accelerators run their own scout programs?
Some do. The count on this page is the number we have documented, and it is small relative to the number of accelerators, because most scout programs are run by funds rather than by accelerators. Both are listed in the directory.
What does a scout actually get paid?
Most commonly a share of carry on deals they source, which pays years later and only if the deal works. Some programs pay a stipend instead. Where a program has disclosed its terms, the program entry shows them. Where it has not, we leave a blank rather than guess.
Can Superscout get me a scout seat?
No. We document programs and make your track record legible. Programs choose their scouts.

Aspire PreAccelerator logoAccelerator

In 2016-17, Aspire Incubator was the newest initiative in the Aspire community.A firm step towards ensuring continued growth and value creation, this tool allowed members of the community to grow their ideas and transform them in successful start-ups, exploring the entrepreneurial environment guided by top mentors. The Incubator became one of the main attraction points in the Alumni community and strategic priority for management, since it allows our members to come forward with ideas and build a successful story. In 2018, the Incubator will take a pre-acceleration form, since our research showed a gap in the market between young entrepreneurs with passion and great ideas and experienced entrepreneurs, who have easier access to funds through their networks. Moreover, the regional market lacks in support offered for non-profit organisations or social projects, making Aspire Incubator a vital tool for the young entrepreneurs who come up with innovative ideas for social global challenges. Through a matchmaking process, talented and entrepreneurial individuals are inspired to discover their co-founders or join existing teams formed around an idea they believe in. After talking with industry experts, participants can refine their ideas and through a 2-day hackathon, they will be able to present it in front of panel of mentors. Up to 10 teams will be awarded with a 4-month Aspire mentorship package, each of the team receiving a project manager, responsible for their development and being able to use the Aspire community resources and networking. During the mentorship period, teams are launching their MVP, getting their first clients and either applying for world known accelerator programs or pitching for their first round of investment.
