We thrive based on our ability to execute our scouts strategy. At the independent venture firms, you’ll generally find more innovation, resources, and community around scouts.

We’re seeing some investment in areas which are not the ones we’re spending a tonne of time on at seed-stage. Our starters community is taking our interest towards areas we didn’t know existed.

I guess the next and final question is: what kind of scout programmes can we build, drawing from the example the US and the UK has set for us ?

If you want to eventually work at a venture fund, the VC partners will look at your scout track record.

Accel has found a simple way to make it stand out from the crowd: it’s given each scout a bucketload of capital.
