Monks Hill Ventures (MHV) Scouts Program

The MHV Scouts Program is Monks Hill Ventures' distributed venture scout network, bringing together exceptional founders and operators across Southeast Asia to source and invest in high-growth pre-seed and seed-stage startups. Launched in 2021, the program represents an evolution in how early-stage venture capital operates in emerging markets, empowering individual scouts to become deal makers while maintaining quality and network alignment.

The MHV Scouts Program focuses on investing in pre-seed and seed-stage technology companies that solve significant market problems in Southeast Asia. By leveraging local expertise and networks, scouts can identify promising startups and provide them with the necessary support to grow.

Prospective scouts should demonstrate their founder credentials and network connections. Engaging with existing scouts and attending MHV events can enhance their chances of being selected.

Successful founders with proven exits or ongoing success, experienced operators from high-growth companies, and individuals with deep local ecosystem knowledge are encouraged to apply.

Interested candidates can express their interest through the MHV website, demonstrating their founder credentials and network. They can also attend scout network events and connect with existing scouts.

Participants gain access to MHV's LP base, portfolio company support, market intelligence, and potential co-investment opportunities. They also benefit from operational expertise and visibility at industry events.

The program operates continuously with monthly scout meetings and quarterly strategy sessions to align on portfolio updates and investment opportunities.

The program has successfully identified and supported over 100 pre-seed and seed companies, with multiple portfolio companies raising Series A funding from international VCs.
