Want To Live In A Mansion For A Week?

Hello Seedscout Universe! Anotha Week. Anotha Dollar. Anotha newsletter. Here is todays’s edition of the Seedscout digest. To kick us off, here’s a quick reminder about what we are working on.

What is Seedscout?

Seedscout is a fundraising readiness platform for founders. We make introductions to investors if they’re ready to raise capital and get them get ready if they’re not. We have a free plan where we provide tools for founders to help provide context on their company to investors. For founders who want introductions from us to kickstart their raise, we have Seedscout Pro. Have questions? Pro curious? Reply here and I’ll be happy to answer your questions.

Introducing Seedscout Summer

Seedscout will be renting out massive Airbnbs in and around Tempe, AZ all summer long to host founder focused events, pool parties, coworking, and tons more. All locals are invited and if you’re a Seedscout Pro member, we’ll fly you in (we’ll cover your first roundtrip flight) and you can stay at the houses for no additional cost outside of your pro subscription. Learn more about Seedscout Summer #1 (SS1), which starts in 2 days. Can’t make it this week? Stay tuned for SS2 in June.

We’re Hiring Venture Partners

We are actively hiring for Venture Partners (VP) . VPs meet with 4 founders a month in our network, provide feedback on the startups, and earn Seedscout equity in the process. To become a VP, we’ll have a two month trial with you as a scout. After those two months, if we enjoy working together, we’ll give you equity in Seedscout and bring you on as a VP.

Our Investor Platform

We’ve gotten questions about how investors can engage in the Seedscout platform. There’s really three levels to this.

1. Join the Seedscout network and get our deal flow

As an investor in the Seedscout network, you have visibility to the 2,700+ founders in Seedscout when they want to request intros. If you’re in our system, we’re able to facilitate and track intros seamlessly. This is only possible if you’ve filled out the Seedscout investor typeform. Haven’t filled it out yet? You can do so here. 

2. Become a Venture Partner

Although being a VP is essentially joining our team, it’s also a sly way to get guaranteed deal flow AND access to founders in our network. Get paid in Seedscout equity to meet with founders, and when you meet a gem, invest in them off of the Seedscout platform for no fees. Sound good? Apply to become a VP here.

3. Invest In Seedscout

The last level of involvement in Seedscout is becoming an investor in us. Contrary to popular belief, Seedscout is a startup with a good ‘ole Delaware C Corp. And we want to make sure our early users/fans get the upside when we’re ringing the LTSE IPO bell in a decade. If you’re an accredited investor and believe in what we’re doing, you can invest in us here.

Of course, you can also do more than one of those listed above (you can even do all three). Email me if you have any questions.
