Scout Program
Archer Venture Capital is a Los Angeles-based venture capital firm founded in 2010 that focuses on secondary investments and growth equity. The firm buys into existing companies post-Series A through secondary market transactions, rather than leading primary rounds. The team of 15 includes 3 Partners, 1 Venture Partner, and 1 Principal.
Archer maintains Venture Scout positions on its investment team for sourcing and evaluating secondary investment opportunities. These appear to be employment-based roles rather than a traditional external scout program with carry compensation. The firm's track record includes 4 unicorns, 8 IPOs, and 31 acquisitions, with notable exits in HubSpot, Uber, Credit Karma, Grammarly, Fetch, Sovrn, and Impact.
