Ada Scouts

We currently have 100+ Ada Scouts, all of whom are involved in an underrepresented community and help us access diverse founders. They are incentivised through a cash payment and longer term carry-linked payment.

Our Scout and Angel network delivers:

On average 12% to 14% of our total dealflow every quarter

32% of Fund I & Fund II investments were sourced by an Ada Scout or Ada Angel*

*Data as of November 2024

Ten times more all-female teams and six times more all-Black teams than the UK benchmark were sourced through the Ada Scout network*

*Can a smart scout programme help increase the diversity of your dealflow — and investments?

Ada Angels - first cohort

We launched our first twelve month Ada’s Angel programme in the UK in 2020 with five Angel investors.
Our first cohort closed in October 2021 and are no longer deploying capital through the programme.
