Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
Boardy Ventures appears to focus on early-stage companies surfaced through a hybrid AI-and-human network. Public coverage emphasizes AI-led sourcing and evaluation, while partner pages describe Boardy Ventures as writing approximately $100K checks at pre-seed and seed and using trusted deal partners to find strong founders early.
Eligibility
Boardy asks prospective scouts whether they angel invest, have scouted for a fund before, what companies they track, and why they have access to founders before fundraising. The public criteria suggest a preference for angels, operators, founders, and networked ecosystem participants with early founder access rather than first-time students or broad public applicants.
Selection approach
Prospective deal partners enter the Boardy flow, choose the Deal Partner/Scout option, and submit name, phone, company email, LinkedIn, optional X profile, location, angel investing status, prior scout experience, an angel-investment example, founder outreach method, tracked companies, and a written rationale for why they have pre-fundraising founder access.
