Overview

Global Founders Capital (GFC) operates an invite-only venture capital scout program as part of its talent development and deal-sourcing strategy. GFC is the venture capital arm of Rocket Internet, operating as a dedicated investment vehicle deploying capital from Rocket's balance sheet rather than as an independent fund. The scout program leverages a global network of scouts across multiple geographies to identify and evaluate early-stage companies with potential for significant scale, particularly in emerging and secondary markets.

Investment focus

GFC's scout program reflects the growing importance of emerging markets in venture capital. By maintaining a global scout network, GFC identifies opportunities that traditional VC might miss, focusing on founders who use a repeatable company-building playbook.
