Aspiring Venture Capitalist? Seeking Scouts to help find deals. Huge potential upside.

Hello! I am a partner for a later stage venture capital firm, looking to build a community of scouts to help find great companies to invest in. I'm most interested in companies in underserved areas (so cities and countries outside of SF/NYC/Boston, but it isn't a hard rule).

We are looking to invest $10M or more in each deal so we're seeking companies that have significant traction in either revenues or users already.

The pay would be a percentage of the profits that are made from the investment you source (the actual number will vary, but it would be between 1% and 5% of profits per deal). This can be a significant amount of money as it is not impossible to get 10X returns or more. Thus, if we invest $10M and get a 10X return, that is $90 million in profit. You could make between 1% and 5% of the $100M if you find a great company :).

The best candidates will have a unique advantage in identifying and connecting with great companies that could use at least $10M in capital. They are either hyper-connected or can figure out a way to become so. This could also be a good way to begin building a track record as an investor.

If interested, please send an email to: VentureScoutGlobal (at) gmail , answering the questions:

  1. What would be your process of identifying great companies to invest in?
  2. What is your competitive advantage over other potential VC's or scouts?
  3. OPTIONAL: Give an example of a less obvious company that you think would be a great one to invest $10 million in right now.

If you're not the right person, but you know somebody who is and refer them... then they become a scout, I will give you 10% of their returns for the referral.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Deal sourcing is about much more than finding startups that are actively raising capital. The real value comes from identifying strong founders early, understanding emerging market needs, and building relationships before a company becomes widely visible. For scouts, consistently useful deal flow depends on having a clear investment thesis and developing the judgment to distinguish genuine business potential from temporary excitement. Quality of insight ultimately matters more than the number of deals surfaced.
