What does a scout actually do?

Share promising startups with Calm Company Fund and, if desired, submit a brief investment memo explaining the fit.

How do I get credited for a referral?

Give the founder your unique Scout ID; they enter it in the funding application—no warm intro needed.

Is previous investing experience required?

No. Curiosity about calm, profit‑focused businesses is more important than a track record.

What if multiple scouts refer the same startup?

Only the Scout ID entered by the founder is recognised for rewards.

How soon is compensation paid?

Cash is wired shortly after the investment closes; carry is distributed when the fund realises profits.

Can I switch from cash to carry after a deal?

The choice is final per deal, but you can pick a different option on your next referral.

Is there a quota for active status?

Scouts should aim for at least one quality referral each quarter; persistent inactivity can lead to removal.

Do I need to be an accredited investor?

No personal investment is required, so accreditation is not necessary.

Can scouts invest personally in the deals they find?

Yes, with fund approval, but it’s purely optional.

How do I become a Venture Partner?

Consistently deliver high‑quality memos and successful deals; the team invites top scouts to the paid track.
