Curious if anyone has any details or is familiar with different scout programs that VCs offer? Would love to kick off a discussion on this one but some areas I was curious about are the following: How does compensation work? What does the role exactly entail? Is it primarily focused on sourcing? How to break in? Benefits or drawbacks relative to Growth Equity/ VC Analyst and Associate roles How to break in? Which funds have scout programs besides Sequoia? Any anecdotal stories you might have regarding peers who are active within these programs Thanks all!

It is just angel investing with some money from a VC to supplement your own. What does the role exactly entail? Is it primarily focused on sourcing? It is exactly what angel investing is plus some communication with your one LP (the VC) How to break in? Be a succesful angel investor. Benefits or drawbacks relative to Growth Equity/ VC Analyst and Associate roles It would make no sense to compare them Asking how to be a scout is like asking how to be an entrepreneur in residence (EIR). It's not exactly a real job.
