One system that watches, scores, and acts on every founder signal
Scouter monitors career moves, exits, and stealth signals the moment they happen, scores every founder against real success patterns, keeps the full context close at hand, and alerts you before anyone else even knows there's a round to chase.
AI-native scoring
A scoring engine built for founder signal from the ground up - not a company database with a filter on top.
Real-time monitoring
Watch career moves and signals as they happen - not weeks later in someone else's update.
Connected context
Keep every founder's history, score, and connection path close, current, and easy to act on.
Automated alerts
Turn scattered signals into a system that surfaces the right founder - on its own, before the round.
Built across industries
From fast-moving teams to highly regulated environments, Scout helps organizations build systems that match how their industry operates.

The cost of discovering
a founder late
Every month you wait, you pay more for less
Pre-seed valuations rise about 2% per month. A $1M check can mean 20% ownership at Month 0, 6.25% at Month 12, and 2% by Month 24. Same check. Same founder. 10x less equity.
Every month you wait, the door gets narrower
Seed-to-Series A conversion has been cut in half: 30.6% for the 2018 cohort, 15.4% for 2022, and about 16% for 2024.
Every month you wait, your founder moves closer to death
BLS data shows 20% of startups are gone by Month 12, 30% by Month 24, and 50% by Month 60. Tech startups fail faster: 63% within 5 years.

Still relying on a spreadsheet and a hunch?
Hours scrolling LinkedIn. A handful of names from a demo day. A deal you only heard about after the round closed. Sourcing isn't broken because investors aren't trying - it's broken because the best founders are invisible until it's too late.
Make every signal
count.
Turn scattered career data into an investment workflow built around your team.
