Overview
What Allied VC Scout Program offers
What Allied VC Scout Program is
The Allied VC Scout Program is a venture sourcing program from Allied Venture Partners for people who can identify and refer high-potential early-stage startups. The core mechanism is simple: a scout finds a company raising Seed or Series A, introduces it through Allied's referral process, and if Allied invests, the scout receives 20% of Allied's carry on the first investment in exchange for assistance in identifying, assessing, and negotiating the investment. Allied positions the program as both a carry-sharing opportunity and a practical VC apprenticeship through analysis, feedback, and deal-sourcing reps.

Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
Allied backs technically strong founders building infrastructure-layer software with real users, early revenue, capital efficiency, long-term differentiation, and North American company registration/headquarters. Scouts should source startups that fit Allied's Seed-to-Series-A software thesis and can support Allied's diligence process.
Eligibility
Participants should be able to proactively identify high-potential startups, have relevant founder/startup networks or ecosystem credibility, and assist with identifying, assessing, negotiating, or monitoring the opportunity when needed.
Selection approach
Scouts are invited to submit startup referrals through the Startup Referral Form. The form asks for high-level company/referral details rather than a rigorous investment memo.
