How do you become a VC scout? As far as I understand, it’s usually a freelance or part-time position, and companies typically don’t advertise such roles. However, I recall seeing some venture funds that had a link on their website, something like “Become a Scout with Us.” How can you find these kinds of programs?
It seems logical for a fund’s management company to sign agreements with lots of scouts—maybe a hundred—so they can bring well-researched startups. But for some reason, that doesn’t appear to be the norm in the market. Has anyone tried reaching out to a fund’s managing directors directly and offering their services as a scout?
