Scout Program Details

Thank you for your interest in investing with us!

Village entrusts successful angel investors and inspirational founders with capital to invest in early stage companies on our behalf.

We believe this networked model can discover exceptional entrepreneurs. Pushing decision-making to the edges of networks identifies promising talent and technologies as they emerge.

We seek investors -- representing different backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, geographies, and sectors -- with proximity to founders, including those who might go underestimated and who, like virtually all founders, could benefit from an extended network.

Selection criteria include: the types of investments you seek, connectivity with founders, complementarity of your network (minimal overlap with our existing networks), and references on insight, helpfulness and character. You need not have an angel investing track record.

We can only accept a very small percentage of applicants, but we review each application. We will contact you if an interview is a good next step.
