Vamos Ventures Scout Program

# Overview
The Vamos Ventures Scout Program is designed to create a pipeline of diverse venture capital investors while supporting Latinx and diverse founders. Scouts work 3-5 hours per week sourcing and vetting investment deals, with investment sizes ranging from $100K to $2M. The program provides scouts with community, programming, capital access, and structured training to enhance skills, gain VC exposure, and build investment track records. Scouts who source deals that result in Vamos investments receive compensation based on deal outcomes.

The Vamos Ventures Scout Program aims to increase diversity in venture capital by empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate in the investment process. By sourcing deals and gaining exposure to venture capital, scouts can build their credentials and contribute to a more inclusive investment landscape.
