Boardy Ventures Scout Program

The Boardy Ventures Scout Program is the deal-sourcing network for Boardy Ventures, an AI-led venture fund/platform connected to Boardy, the AI "superconnector" product founded by Andrew D'Souza and team. Boardy positions itself as an AI agent that talks with founders, investors, operators, and other professionals, then makes relevant introductions. The scout program extends that model with human deal partners who can surface promising founders before or around fundraising.

Boardy Ventures appears to focus on early-stage companies surfaced through a hybrid AI-and-human network. Public coverage emphasizes AI-led sourcing and evaluation, while partner pages describe Boardy Ventures as writing approximately $100K checks at pre-seed and seed and using trusted deal partners to find strong founders early.

Designed for Scouts, Investors, Operators, Founders. The program is remote. Participation is generally part time.

Boardy asks prospective scouts whether they angel invest, have scouted for a fund before, what companies they track, and why they have access to founders before fundraising. The public criteria suggest a preference for angels, operators, founders, and networked ecosystem participants with early founder access rather than first-time students or broad public applicants.

Prospective deal partners enter the Boardy flow, choose the Deal Partner/Scout option, and submit name, phone, company email, LinkedIn, optional X profile, location, angel investing status, prior scout experience, an angel-investment example, founder outreach method, tracked companies, and a written rationale for why they have pre-fundraising founder access.

Accepted scouts appear to get a formal sourcing relationship with Boardy Ventures. The main economic benefit reported publicly is deal-level carry participation: GOVC Lab reported 50% carry for referred deals, and Boardy's Reddit account stated that accepted scouts would earn 50% of the carry on a founder they bring if Boardy invests.
