Deal-based earnings + performance bonuses (typically $1,000–$10,000+ per closed transaction, based on deal size and role)

About Initio Sphere

Initio Sphere is a private capital ecosystem where capital meets talent. We connect fund managers, investors, and operators with high-quality deal flow, analyst support, and institutional infrastructure across the private markets.

Our platform is designed for professionals who want real exposure, real upside, and real credibility—not job boards, spreadsheets, or unpaid sourcing.

Role Overview

Initio Sphere is onboarding Investment Opportunity Scouts to identify, originate, and introduce qualified investment opportunities to our investor and fund manager network.

This is not an employment role. Investment Opportunity Scouts operate as independent contractors, activated through a verification and approval process.

Once approved, Investment Opportunity Scouts:

• Source and submit qualified off-market or proprietary investment opportunities
• Work directly with capital allocators and sponsors on live transactions
• Earn transaction-based compensation for deals that successfully close
• Build a verified opportunity-sourcing track record within the Initio Sphere ecosystem

This role is ideal for professionals already close to deal flow, including operators, brokers, intermediaries, advisors, and well-networked professionals.

What You’ll Do (Approval-Based)

Approved Investment Opportunity Scouts may:

• Source proprietary or semi-proprietary investment opportunities
• Introduce opportunities to Initio Sphere’s investor and sponsor network
• Provide high-level opportunity context (asset, structure, economics, investment thesis)
• Coordinate initial introductions between opportunity principals and capital partners
• Support early-stage diligence handoff (financial modeling and underwriting are handled by analysts)
• Investment Opportunity Scouts are not responsible for underwriting, modeling, or capital raising.

Eligible Opportunity Types

Based on approval, Investment Opportunity Scouts may submit opportunities across:

• Private equity and growth equity transactions
• Operating businesses and special situations
• Structured or opportunistic investments
• Opportunity categories are approved based on experience and demonstrated sourcing credibility.
