Questions
What this is, what it costs, where the facts come from and how to start. Questions about one program or investor are answered on its own page.
A way into the startup world. Superscout maps the investors, programs, accelerators, universities and places that make it up, and gives you three ways in: scout startups, raise for your own, or back someone else's.
Facts on a page carry their source and the date they were checked. What cannot be sourced stays off the page, which is why you will find blanks where other sites show a plausible number. If something is wrong, every page has a report link.
Joining costs nothing, and neither does being found. Pro adds search, a verified profile and a private deal vault. Paying buys tools, never favor: it does not change how any program or investor sees you, and nobody can pay to rank higher here.
Paying buys tools, not favor. Pro does not change how any program or investor sees you, and nobody on this site can pay for placement.
Program pages, organization pages, press coverage and public directories. Each page lists what was used and when it was last checked.
Because nobody has published it, or it has not been confirmed yet. A blank never means zero, and gaps are never filled with estimates.
Each page carries the date it was last checked. Programs change deadlines and terms without saying so, so the program's own page wins for anything with a date on it.
No. Being listed is not a partnership, a referral deal or an endorsement in either direction.
No. There is no paid placement anywhere on this site.
No. Scout programs recruit people outside venture on purpose, founders raise a first round with none, and plenty of angels start from an operating job.
Programs describe it as part-time, alongside a job. Where a program states hours, its page shows them.
Use the report link on any page, or the contact page. People correcting their own organization's entry go to the front of the queue.
