Initializing workspace...

For scouts & venture partners

You sent them a company.

Then nothing came back.

Scouting dies in a WhatsApp message. You make an intro, the fund takes it from there, and six months later you find out on Twitter that they led the round. Scouts get their own role and their own surface — not a CC line on someone else's thread.

The loop, closed

Refer it, then watch it move.

01

The referral is a record, not a message

Company, why you think it is interesting, how you know them, and the warm path. It lands in the fund's pipeline as a deal with your name attached to it — attribution that survives a staff change on their side.

Before: "passing this along, no obligation" — into a partner's inbox, at 11pm, with no thread to follow.
02

You can see what happened to it

Stage, current status, and the outcome when there is one. Not the fund's internal memo, not the vote, not the diligence — the state of the deal you sent, so you know whether to keep sending that kind.

Before: asking twice, then deciding not to ask a third time.
03

A pass tells you something too

When a referral is passed on, you see that it was, and the fund can attach a reason. A scout who learns the thesis in three months is worth more than one who guesses at it for two years.

Before: silence, which reads identically to "we haven't looked yet".
04

Your track record is countable

Referrals sent, taken forward, invested. When the carry conversation happens, both sides are reading the same list rather than reconstructing it from memory and goodwill.

Before: "I think I sent you that one?"
05

What you cannot see, and why

The scout surface is scoped to your own referrals. It does not open the fund's pipeline, its other scouts' deals, its portfolio marks or its LP side. That boundary is what makes a fund willing to give you a login at all, so we are not going to soften it.

Before: — a shared folder that was either too open or useless.
What it looks like

Four referrals,

four honest answers.

One screen. It is deliberately small — a scout needs the state of their own referrals, not a second CRM to keep up with.

Four sent this year, one invested. The pass on Northwind carries a reason — that is the row that changes what you send next.
If you run the fund

Scouts are a seat, not a licence line.

Members and seats are unlimited from Pro up, so a scout network is not a budget decision. Every scout is a role in your workspace with its own scope, and their referrals arrive in the same pipeline as everything else — scored, attributed and searchable — rather than in a spreadsheet somebody maintains out of loyalty. DSignal Angel gives co-investors their own portal on the same basis.

A scout who never learns the outcome is a scout you get one year of.

No competitor on our comparison pages ships a scout-facing surface. The closing of the loop is the entire product here, and it is four screens, not forty.
