Scout Program
Launched in 2021, the Vamos Ventures Scout Program mobilises purpose‑driven community builders, founders and operators to widen the firm’s deal‑sourcing funnel and champion under‑represented entrepreneurs.
Each annual cohort (≈ 15–20 scouts) begins with a four‑week virtual boot camp that covers sourcing frameworks, founder outreach, inclusive diligence and post‑investment support.
Scouts then operate autonomously for the balance of nine months, submitting opportunities through an internal Airtable portal and joining monthly deal‑review calls with the Vamos investment team.
The network is intentionally diverse: the inaugural class was 81 % Latinx and 62 % female, spanning 10 U.S. cities. Scouts receive ongoing mentorship, a peer Slack, and invitations to quarterly portfolio AMAs plus an in‑person summit in Los Angeles.
When a referral results in an investment, the scout is publicly recognised and may remain engaged as an informal advisor; specific cash or carry economics have not been publicly disclosed.
Over its first two years the programme has sourced deals in fintech, digital health and climate‑tech—several of which have already raised institutional follow‑on rounds—validating the model’s impact on both pipeline quality and community reach.

VamosVentures is a venture capital fund in the United States that focuses on Latinx and diverse founders that are building early-stage tech-enabled businesses. VamosVentures aims to create wealth, social mobility, and innovative solutions in order to earn financial returns and have a significant impact.
In fundraising rounds, the fund will lead, co-lead, or participate.
Because they were varied founders themselves and are now diverse investors, the fund intentionally focuses on diverse founders. They are intimately aware with the obstacles and possibilities produced by inefficient capital markets as they apply to different entrepreneurs.
The Diversity Term Sheet Rider has been implemented by VamosVentures.
Candidates complete an online interest form outlining background, founder access and sector focus. Short‑listed applicants join a 20‑minute Zoom interview; final selections are announced in April. Acceptance has hovered near 7 %.
The programme charges no fees and requires no capital contribution; Vamos provides all legal documents, software licences and event access.
Vamos Ventures states that scouts share in upside when their referrals are funded, but has not publicly disclosed bonus amounts or carry splits.

We also have a third goal, and that is to support the development of a robust and highly competent pipeline of Latinx and diverse venture capital investors. Along with being a partner for diverse founders, we believe that supporting diverse investors is necessary to level the entrepreneurial and capital markets playing field. For this reason, we are excited to announce the launch of our first Scout Program.
Through our Scout Program, we aim to grow the pipeline of Latinx and diverse venture capital investors. Our goal is to build and highlight the venture careers of diverse individuals by giving them ownership over deals and providing access to resources and training.
