Ada's Community

We start with a diverse pipeline, powered by what we believe to be the biggest and most diverse scout & angel programme globally.

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?

Danish Ada Angels - third cohort

We launched our first European Ada’s Angel programme with the announcement of ten angel investors in Denmark in May 2024. Our third overall cohort are scale-up operators, founders and community leaders.

The cohort will invest in Danish companies with cheques of 200,000 DKK per investment. Founders based in Denmark may contact the Danish Angels via our Public Directory.
