Overview
Hedosophia, a London-based growth-stage VC firm, launched the Hedosophia Scout Program to source and invest in pre-seed and seed-stage European fintechs. The program enlists approximately 20 elite C-suite startup operators and angels across Europe as scouts with delegated investment authority. Scouts write smaller GBP 20K-30K checks to capture earlier-stage deals, preventing concentrated decision authority. This program aims to navigate increasingly competitive funding environments while leveraging the expertise and networks of its scouts.
