Crosscut Ventures operates a scout program comprising approximately 13-14 entrepreneurs across the country who generate pre-seed deal flow and provide geographic and sector diversity to the firm's investment decision-making. The program directly addresses the venture capital industry's reliance on deal flow at the top of the funnel by distributing capital and decision-making authority to scouts in underserved geographies and networks.

The scout program aims to find founders and companies that wouldn't otherwise access traditional venture capital, maintaining a competitive advantage in sourcing.
