How Scout Programs Work
Scout programs pay you a percentage of carried interest (typically 5-15%) on deals you source that the fund invests in.
Top programs: Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, Village Global, Soma Capital.
Scouts use tools like GitDealFlow to surface deals before other scouts see them.
How to Succeed as a Scout
Source 5-10 quality leads per quarter. Quality beats quantity.
Build relationships with 20-30 high-quality founders in your sector.
Use GitDealFlow's weekly trending list and Scout Score feature to find breakout founders before they're famous.
