Ada's Sourcing Network
Ada’s Scouts are our sourcing advantage. They’re based across the UK, Ireland and Denmark, positioned in key hubs that align with our core investment themes.
How does the programme work
Scouts receive education about venture capital and direct access to a venture fund.
They get an opportunity to build a track record in finding venture-backable companies early.
Scouts receive £5,000 commission and 10% of carried interest generated per company you refer to us if we invest into it.
Carried interest will only be paid if the investment return is 5x and the fund is paying carry.
