a16z Scout Fund

a16z Scout is a venture capital fund and program managed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) that empowers a network of operators, founders, and experts to invest in promising pre-seed and seed-stage startups. Scouts operate autonomously, investing on behalf of a16z through small checks, typically ranging from $10,000 to $25,000. The program aims to identify high-potential companies before they reach mainstream venture capital attention by leveraging the scouts' unique networks and insights. Participation in the program is by invitation only.
