Deal-based earnings + performance bonuses

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.

The platform is built for professionals seeking real transaction exposure, real upside, and real credibility—not job boards, unpaid sourcing, or speculative pitching.

Role Overview

Initio Sphere is onboarding Private Equity Deal Scouts to identify, originate, and introduce qualified private equity and principal investment opportunities to our network of funds, sponsors, and capital allocators.

This is not an employment role. Deal Scouts operate as certified independent contractors and are activated through a verification and approval process.

Once approved, Private Equity Deal Scouts may:

• Source and submit proprietary or semi-proprietary investment opportunities
• Introduce qualified deals to vetted investors and fund managers
• Collaborate with sponsors and capital partners on live transactions
• Earn transaction-based compensation on successfully closed deals
• Build a verified Deal Scout Track Record within the Initio Sphere ecosystem

This role is ideal for individuals already close to deal flow who want to monetize sourcing without running a fund or underwriting risk.

What You’ll Do (Approval-Based)

Approved Private Equity Deal Scouts may:

• Identify and originate proprietary or early-stage investment opportunities
• Submit deal summaries with high-level context (asset, structure, economics, thesis)
• Facilitate initial introductions between deal principals and capital partners
• Coordinate early-stage diligence handoff to Initio Sphere analysts and advisors
• Maintain sourcing integrity, discretion, and professionalism
• Deal Scouts do not perform underwriting, financial modeling, capital raising, or deal marketing.
• Based on approval, Deal Scouts may source opportunities across:

• Private equity and growth equity transactions
• Operating businesses and control investments
• Special situations, structured, or opportunistic investments

Deal categories are approved based on demonstrated sourcing access, credibility, and experience.

All activities are limited to deal introduction and relationship facilitation and must comply with applicable securities laws.
