Overview

What SpeedInvest Scout Program offers

What SpeedInvest Scout Program is

SpeedInvest is a Vienna-based early-stage VC firm that has adopted a unique approach to the traditional scout program model. Instead of launching a typical scout program, SpeedInvest has invested €3M across 10-12 early-stage fund managers in emerging markets, including Latam and Africa. This fund-of-funds strategy enables SpeedInvest to support emerging manager talent while expanding their deal sourcing reach, representing a distinct philosophy on building distributed investment networks.
