About the Program

Gen She is a media company with 200K+ women in technology, entrepreneurship, and venture capital. Our global network is more than a community; it's a powerhouse of inspiration, support, and mentorship.

We’ve partnered with women-led venture capital funds (thanks to Y&Z Ventures!) to launch the Gen She Scout Program, giving YOU the power to find the NEXT BIG THING. As a scout in the Gen She Scout Program, you’ll leverage your acumen and network to spot emerging talent and technology and recommend potential investment opportunities.

Participating in the Gen She Scout Program offers a pivotal experience for those looking to break into the venture capital industry, providing a crucial stepping stone towards becoming a seasoned investor or venture capitalist by fostering hands-on experience and invaluable industry connections.

👩‍💻 As a Scout, You Can…

• Kickstart Your Venture Capital Career — With venture capital, the sooner you start, the better! Starting early to build a track record of picking successful startups is the surest way of building your reputation to eventually secure a venture capital role.
• Earn a Share in Startups Without Investing Your $$ in Them — You can earn a share in the startups you scout! If our partner VC funds decide to invest, you can earn a share of the investment without having your own funds to invest directly (just like a VC partner).
• Build Your Network and Community — As a Scout, you have a front-row seat to interesting startups! Reach out, network, and build your community in the venture ecosystem.
• Help Friends Get Funded — Are you starting a company or have friends who are? Becoming a venture scout is a great way to share deal flow with your network.
• Promote Equity and Inclusion — With more access comes more opportunity! Help us expand access to venture capital dollars to under-represented entrepreneurs.
