Applications are open for the next class of JSV Launchpad Venture Scouts.
We’re looking for college students serious about startups who want to learn how venture works from the inside, then put it to work finding and vetting great student founders.
Apply: jsv.com/launchpad/scouts
S26 JSV Launchpad wrapped on August 20 with Demo Day in San Francisco.
13 companies. 10 weeks of building, weekly pitches, and time with founders and operators.
Four are now in YC. Another four have closed their first funding rounds.
Thank you to everyone who spent time with the cohort this summer.

I'm recruiting the next class of Venture Scouts at Jackson Square Ventures.
You find the student founders on your campus. You interview them. You fight to get them into the Launchpad cohort.
No quotas, no assigned hours. Output is the only bar.
The scouts who deliver earn the paid summer in SF.
Class starts November 2. I'm reading every application. Link below.

Three things that stuck with me from @bgurley at the JSV Book Club:
1. When you're fascinated, the learning is free.
2. Go to the epicenter.
3. Embrace your peers. Careers are infinite games.
