YZi Labs has named four university students to its first Atlas Scout cohort, where they will help identify startups and assess projects, including in artificial intelligence.
Why it mattersThe students attend Stanford, Yale, UC Berkeley and UCLA. YZi Labs will make the final investment decisions, TokenPost reports. The programme also covers Web3 and biotechnology. It offers a small but concrete look at how the firm is building an early-stage scouting pipeline, with AI among its investment areas.
Discuss: Should investment firms bring students into early-stage startup scouting, or does that risk turning academic networks into an informal deal pipeline?
