Press and media

The facts, with their sources attached.

Superscout is a structured public record of how early-stage companies get found and funded: the scout programs, fellowships, accelerators, funds, campuses and ecosystems, each described with the same fields so two of them can actually be compared. Everything below is either counted from the live database or linked to the thing it came from.

Superscout is a public database of the early-stage funding world: scout programs, fellowships, accelerators, funds, campuses and ecosystems, each documented from sources a reader can check.

Superscout is a structured public record of how early-stage companies get found and funded. It documents scout programs, fellowships, accelerators, venture funds, universities, regions and sectors, describing each one with the same fields so that two of them can be compared rather than merely read. Every page is assembled from what an organization publishes about itself and from public records, separates a sourced fact from a reading of it, and says plainly where it does not know something. Superscout does not run any of the programs it documents, is not affiliated with them, and does not accept payment for placement or ranking. Corrections cost nothing and are checked against the source rather than against the person reporting them.

What Superscout is not

These four are the ones that get written incorrectly most often, so they are stated here rather than left to inference.

  • Not an endorsement. Publishing a program says it exists and is relevant. It does not say it is good, or that anyone should apply.
  • Not an affiliation. Superscout does not run, partner with, or act for the programs and funds it documents, and is not funded by them.
  • Not paid placement. No organization pays to appear, to rank higher, or to be described more favorably. There is no mechanism by which it could.
  • Not advice. Nothing published here is legal, financial, tax or investment advice.

The method behind every page, including what is weighed and what is never done, is on how the research works.

Story angles we can speak to

Scouting as a route into venture, and what it actually pays

Scout programs are the least documented entry point into venture capital and the most misunderstood. Superscout can speak to how the programs differ, what a scout is really asked to do, and where the published terms stop matching the practice.

What happens when program terms are made comparable

Most programs publish a page about themselves and nothing that can be set against another program. Describing several hundred of them with the same fields exposes patterns that no single program page shows.

Building a public record without taking money from the subjects

A directory that sells placement stops being a record. Superscout can speak to how the independence rule is enforced in practice, and what it costs to keep it.

Where campus and regional ecosystems actually concentrate

Fellowships and campus programs are unevenly distributed in ways that rarely match where people assume the activity is. The place-level data is unusually legible on this point.

Press inquiries

Include your publication, your deadline, and the specific question. We can speak to how the database is built and checked, what scouting is and is not, and what the data shows about how early-stage discovery actually works.
