About this directory

A venture scout program is a structured way for firms to work with people who identify promising startups. Superscout documents who can apply, how admissions work, what the program offers, and which public sources support each claim. Terms remain the program's own and should be verified before applying.

Questions people ask about venture programs

What is a venture capital scout program?
A scout program gives selected participants a structured way to source startups for an investor. Responsibilities, decision authority, compensation, and eligibility vary by program, so Superscout documents those terms separately.
How do I find programs that are accepting applications?
Use the directory to identify relevant programs, then review each program page for its documented application status, eligibility, deadline, and primary sources. Application windows can change, so verify current terms with the program before applying.
Are all scout programs paid?
No. Some programs state a stipend, carry, or another form of compensation, while others are unpaid or do not publish terms. Superscout labels compensation only when it is supported by available evidence.
What is the difference between a scout program and a VC fellowship?
Scout programs generally emphasize sourcing and referrals. Fellowships more often combine education, network access, projects, or investing exposure. Some programs combine both models, so the detailed program record matters more than the label alone.
