Scout Program
Anthos Capital is a Santa Monica-based consumer-focused venture capital fund managing over $2 billion across 5 funds. The firm was founded by Bryan Kelly and Paul Farr, both ex-Goldman Sachs professionals and Stanford Business School graduates. The firm's portfolio includes Honey (acquired by PayPal), Curology, goPuff, and numerous other consumer technology companies.
Anthos operates an invite-only scout program targeting 3-4 students per cohort who identify up-and-coming products, brands, and apps for investment consideration. The program is designed around a "super consumer" mentality, seeking individuals who naturally stay informed about emerging consumer products and trends.
Scouts commit 1-2 hours per week on a flexible schedule. While the program is unpaid, participants receive access to private networking events, internship opportunities at fast-growing portfolio startups, and product giveaways. The program provides direct exposure to the VC investment process from sourcing through closing, including observation of the full investment lifecycle.
