What it looks like

A scout program lets a venture fund borrow your vantage point. You introduce companies you already know, explain why they matter, and the fund decides whether to invest.

Who it is for: operators, founders, researchers, students, and community builders who see companies early. An investing title is rarely required.

What you get: most programs share carry on deals you source. Some give scouts a small fund to write checks from, and a few pay a stipend. The brand and the relationship with the fund often matter as much as the economics.

How people get in: many programs are invite-only and recruit through their portfolio. Others take applications. A written record of companies you spotted early, and when, is the strongest signal.

The programs here state that they recruit people from underrepresented groups, either only them or alongside everyone else.
