QUESTIONS

Do I have to be an accredited investor to be a VC scout?

No, you do not need to be an accredited investor to be a Mana scout and earn carry on referred deals.

How are Mana Ventures Scouts compensated?

We share 20% - 50% of our 100% carry on deals referred to us that we end up investing in. 20% is our standard, 50% is for a top deal. Once the deal closes, we share a carry share side letter to cement the agreement. Scouts may also invest carry free in the SPV.

What are your top criteria you are looking for in a deal?

We primarily invest in Seed – Series C Deep Tech and AI companies. Typically the companies on the early side have proven product market fit / traction ($250K – $1M ARR). We don’t lead rounds, so we look for a quality lead investor or angels participating in the round. We also participate in rounds that ensure sufficient runway to the next milestones, which typically is $2M – $10M size rounds.

What if I don’t have all the info on the round / company?

That’s ok. Submit what you have, and send us a note with why you are particularly excited about the deal.
