Scout Program is designed to find the world's best early-stage pickers and give them a public arena to prove it. Each season, 10 scouts receive $100K each to deploy into startups while building their thesis in public. Performance, portfolios, and outcomes are transparent. Scouts publish their theses, build public track records, and compete on outcomes.

The program allows scouts to create their own firm by naming their scout fund and nominating their thesis. They deploy $100K across founders they believe in, with each investment being a pick on their roster. Scouts keep 100% of the upside on their deals and build a track record that opens doors as investors and operators. Investments, follow-ons, and Chapter One participation update the season standings.

The unique approach combines fantasy sports mechanics with real venture capital investing. Venture rewards edge, discipline, and performance, but traditionally the game has been private, slow, and opaque. Scout Program makes it competitive and social, with mentorship from top investors. The goal is to compress 10 years of quiet reputation-building into one visible season and make 'investor' a skill you prove.

Benefits include earning carry while building reputation, with scouts keeping 100% of upside (20% of total profits). Use cases involve competing for season rewards including next season carry, higher allocation, and exclusive perks. The program provides mentorship from top investors, limited partners, and operators who sharpen judgment like great coaches sharpen great players.

The target users are operators, angels, and investors with differentiated taste, access, and conviction. This includes founders or operators with deep founder empathy, product/engineering leaders with consumer intuition and technical fluency, investors who champion non-consensus deals, connectors with unfair access to outlier talent, and people embedded in niche internet corners or deep offline networks.
