Spot the next breakout founder. Earn, learn, and grow within the venture ecosystem.
At Initio Capital, we’re building a new kind of venture platform — one that unites capital, capability, and community to accelerate innovation and empower the next generation of founders.
Our Venture Scouts are the front line of discovery — the eyes and ears of the ecosystem. As a Scout, you’ll identify and connect high-potential startups, emerging fund managers, and visionary founders seeking funding, validation, or strategic support. In return, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to venture capital, exclusive access to ecosystem events, and performance-based compensation for every qualified referral that leads to an investment or partnership.
This is an opportunity to build your track record in venture, grow your network, and play a key role in shaping the future of private markets.
