Introducing Scout Program. Real capital. A live leaderboard. And a path to running your own fund. This will be the most interesting investing program in the industry when all is said & done.

It’s great to see you taking some product risk to venture.

Thank you, have to keep things interesting. Venture doesn’t really take much product risk!

Love this, congrats!

Thank you for the feedback along the way. You're one of my favorite people to message or call when I need a sanity check or creative help.

🙏

Very cool. Can I put it all in one company

Haha. We've thought of it as being 10 to 20 positions, but maybe there is a yolo investment that we can give people to do something bigger on a single company

this is loosely similar to what i was talking about here. love the experiment

This is a cool comparison. I hadn't thought of this being like an open call, but I guess it is. My guess is there are hundreds, if not thousands, of future investors who have really cool networks and thesis areas

exactly. this was somewhat the promise of web3/DAOs - 'proof'-based talent access - but glad to see at least some of these opportunities being realized

I always loved the concept of investment DAOs. I just think they were too complicated, and most of them didn't need crypto, but the spirit of decentralized investment networks is definitely something I believe in

This is insanely dope!

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Glad you think it's cool

I legit might apply to it and make content deploying openly on Instagram. This would make for an incredible series!

great video

Love seeing you push the envelope on what venture investing can look like going forward!

Thank you! Life is more fun when you try experiments like this. Venture has mostly stayed the same for too long.

Great idea

Thank you 🙏🏽

Applied! I like winning.

Haha, I am happy that the program will filter for people who like a little friendly competition

Competition is accountability.

This is cool. Congrats on the launch.

Thank you, I appreciate it! It's been fun to dream up.

This is super cool--love the leaderboard and earned mentorship piece. Excited to see who you all back!

Thank you, much appreciated, we wanted to build something different!

Let’s go!!!

Thank you for the feedback along the way. You are a great thought partner

this is cool

Very cool

Thank you. I want a scout to exclusively invest in Discipulus and El Segundo companies haha.

Let’s do it

Lets fucking go

Nah this is too sick

Love the positioning

Great new take on a VC scout program.

This is awesome, well done

Thank you, very appreciated coming from Off Menu 🔥

Sounds cool, applied 🥳

nice one Jeff! gonna check this out

Love this!

This is sweet - love to see what y’all are cooking on over there Melissa! Will drop an app… fingers crossed

Love to see it 🔥

Congrats on launch! Scout programs with real capital and clear paths to GP roles are rare. Building Dashform (AI lead qualification for B2B). Seed stage, early traction. Worth exploring for scout program?

very cool, applying now

Every real VCs goal should be to put the last generation of managers out of business via outperformance. As a new investor, if you have skill, you should not hand your alpha over to incumbents.

Very cool idea

Thank you, we have loved building it 🙏🏽

Just applied!

Interesting idea, will apply

This is awesome

Jeff, how do I get Draft Day as one of the portfolio companies. You say you are competing like athletes… well we are D1 athletes and we’ve built a tool for D1 athletes… makes sense right Jeff?

This is really cool Jeff!

Cool

Just submitted. Appreciate the opportunity 🙏

Thank you, appreciate your interest
