  • VC Scout Network Cohort 1

    2021 - 2021

    Scout programs create an opportunity for those individuals to expand their networks, build an investing track record, and engage actively in the venture industry. Similar to the rest of the venture industry, scout programs have historically excluded Black individuals. Since scouts provide crucial deal flow and unique perspectives to their firms, the lack of Black representation not only hurts aspiring Black investors, but also venture firms.
