Earn While You Network: $20/hour Base + $100 Per Attended Appointment
We have a live, high-leverage opportunity inside our network for anyone who knows how to open a door and wants to be paid well for doing it.
Initio Capital — an AI-native venture studio and investor marketplace with 500+ founders, 2,500+ institutional VCs, and 1,000+ angel investors on its platform — is looking for Venture Scouts. This is not a speculative internship. It is a fully remote, flexible, commission-backed role with real earnings and a direct path into venture partnership.
What the Role Actually Is
As a Venture Scout, you are the person who finds founders worth backing and becomes the first face from Initio they ever talk to. You will:
Cold call qualified leads from a provided, pre-built list
Prospect and message founders directly on LinkedIn
Build genuine relationships inside founder communities (Whop, Skool, Slack, Discord)
Qualify every lead against Initio's ICP before booking
Confirm and follow up to maximise show rates, not just booking rates
Log all activity cleanly in the CRM and hand off warm context to the Venture Partner team
Why This Works for Network Builders
If you are already inside startup circles, accelerator communities, or founder groups, this role turns your existing network into income. If you are an outbound specialist with SDR or BDR experience, the systems, training, and lead list are already built — you just bring the discipline.
Either way, you get paid to have conversations with founders. That is rare.
The Numbers
Base pay: $20/hour, logged on an auto-tracked dialler
Commission: $100 per attended appointment (no-shows do not count)
On-Target Earnings: ~$8,200/month at 50 attended appointments
Top performers: Full benefits within 90 days, and a proven pipeline into Venture Partner seats
What You Need
Path 1 — You already have startup ecosystem access: founder relationships, accelerator networks, or venture-adjacent experience. You can reach out as a peer, not a stranger.
Path 2 — You have strong outbound or business development experience: SDR/BDR background, agency sales, or high-volume cold outreach. You are metrics-driven, coachable, and willing to build startup fluency fast through Initio's training.
Either path works. You need confidence on the phone, strong written communication, and CRM discipline. Nothing falls through the cracks.
What Initio Provides
Auto-tracked dialler, CRM, and outreach tooling — set up and ready
Full onboarding and ongoing training on pitch, objection handling, and ICP
A pre-built, qualified lead list (warm signal, not a cold spreadsheet)
Full platform access so you speak knowledgeably about what Initio offers
The Bigger Picture
This is a scaling, profitable venture studio — not an early-stage experiment. The best Scouts become the first people considered when new Venture Partner seats open. It is a genuine growth path into full-cycle, consultative venture sales.
