Scout Program
Open scouting programs represent a broader industry trend toward distributed deal sourcing through networks of scouts who identify promising startups and connect them with multiple venture capital firms. Unlike proprietary scout programs operated by individual firms, open scouting platforms create marketplaces where scouts and investors can connect freely. Key platforms include OpenScout by Landscape, Allied Venture Partners, and BLCK VC Scout Network, each offering unique benefits and opportunities for scouts and investors alike.

The program aims to decentralize venture capital by creating a marketplace for scouts to connect with multiple VCs, thereby increasing deal flow and diversity in investment opportunities. It addresses the need for more approachable entry points to capital for founders and reduces sourcing costs for VCs.
The program is open to all aspiring scouts, including non-accredited investors, allowing for a diverse range of participants.
Scouts earn success fees when their introductions lead to VC investments, typically ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 per deal. They may also have opportunities to co-invest or earn equity.
There are no costs for investors to participate in the program, as it operates on a pay-on-deal-closed model.
Scouts can engage part-time, allowing them to balance other work or commitments while participating in the program.
The program operates remotely, allowing scouts to participate flexibly around other commitments.
