In the past few years, venture capital has become a highly popular career path for college graduates and young professionals.
As it is a small industry compared to e.g. Investment banking or consulting, it is really hard to break in and get a highly coveted Analyst or Associate role.

Venture Capital Scout programs are an alternative option to work in Venture capital without accepting a full-time position
Scouts need to spot promising startups early on and pass the dealflow to the venture capital firms. Often they are authorized to invest in early-stage firms with small check sizes ($10K – $50K).
