Location: Remote / Global
Engagement Type: Independent / Performance-Based
Compensation: Referral commissions, deal-based upside, long-term carry potential

About Initio Capital

Initio Capital is a next-generation venture firm and venture studio built to identify, support, and scale high-potential startups globally. Through capital, advisory systems, and a curated founder and investor network, we help early-stage companies move faster from idea to scale.

Our platform connects:

  • Founders building venture-backable companies

  • Investors seeking high-quality deal flow

  • Operators and scouts who surface exceptional talent


What This Role Is

This is not an employment role.

The Venture Scout role is designed for individuals with strong access to:

  • Founders

  • Startup operators

  • Technical builders

  • Early-stage teams

As a Scout, you help identify and refer high-quality founders and startups into the Initio Capital ecosystem.


What You’ll Do

As a Venture Scout, you will:

  • Identify and refer promising founders and early-stage startups

  • Introduce teams aligned with venture-backed outcomes

  • Leverage your network across startups, accelerators, universities, and ecosystems

  • Submit referrals through Initio’s platform

  • Participate in upside when referred companies are accepted and funded

There are no quotas — activity is flexible and self-directed.


How You Earn

Venture Scouts earn through:

  • Cash referral commissions on successful introductions

  • Long-term upside via carry participation (for select deals)

  • Performance-based incentives tied to founder success

Earnings scale with the quality and volume of referrals.


Who This Is For

This role is ideal for:

  • Startup operators and founders

  • Community builders and ecosystem connectors

  • Former or current VCs, angels, or advisors

  • University program leaders, accelerators, and incubator mentors

  • Anyone with consistent access to high-quality founders

You do not need prior investing experience.


Why Join Initio Capital
  • Earn from your network without becoming a VC

  • Work remotely on your own schedule

  • Participate in real venture outcomes

  • Access a global founder and investor ecosystem

  • Build long-term upside beyond one-time referrals
