Frequently Asked Questions
An Innovation Scout serves as a bridge between emerging tech startups and the global network of The FutureList. Scouts are tasked with identifying promising tech startups within their cities or sectors, conducting in-depth interviews with stakeholders, and creating comprehensive profiles. These efforts are geared towards integrating these startups into a wider ecosystem of investors, partners, and tech enthusiasts, thereby scaling their solutions faster and more efficiently.
Startups that are identified stand to gain substantial visibility within The FutureList’s expansive network of investors and partners. This not only elevates their brand presence but also creates opportunities for investment, collaborations, and partnerships. Furthermore, by being profiled, startups align themselves with a global platform, which can enhance their credibility in new markets and increase awareness among exceptional talent looking for their next challenge.
We scout across a broad range of sectors in tech, aiming to identify the most innovative startups globally. This includes everything from AI to biotech, renewable energy, and more. Innovation scouts are typically assigned one of 10 categories: Agriculture, Climate, Education, Enterprise, Finance, Health, Infrastructure, Media, Mobility or Supply Chain.
The FutureList’s Innovation Scout Program is anchored in a comprehensive training system. Each Scout undergoes a structured learning process that covers modules on innovation ecosystem mapping, trend analysis, memo writing, networking, and event facilitation. Moreover, The FutureList has a seasoned team of researchers and analysts who support and review the work of the Scouts to ensure top-notch quality and accuracy.
The companies profiled by our Innovation Scouts are meticulously researched and vetted, providing investors with a curated list of startups that are not only innovative but also have the potential for scalability and growth. By tapping into The FutureList’s platform, investors can gain access to emergent technologies and ideas, often ahead of the broader market, backed by in-depth research and analysis that can inform their investment decisions.
