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 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 Deal Origination Associates to identify, originate, and introduce qualified investment opportunities to our network of investors and fund managers.

This is a contractor role, not traditional employment. Deal Origination Associates operate independently through a verification and approval process.

Once approved, Associates:

• Source and submit proprietary or off-market investment opportunities

• Work directly with capital allocators and sponsors on live transactions

• Earn deal-based compensation for deals that close

• Build a verified deal 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 Deal Origination Associates may:

• Source proprietary or semi-proprietary investment opportunities

• Introduce deals to Initio Sphere’s investor and sponsor network

• Provide high-level deal context (asset, structure, economics, thesis)

• Coordinate initial introductions between deal principals and capital partners

• Support early-stage diligence handoff to analysts (who handle modeling)

Deal Origination Associates are not responsible for underwriting, modeling, or capital raising.

Eligible Deal Types

Based on approval, Associates may submit opportunities across:

• Commercial real estate (multifamily, industrial, retail, mixed-use)

• Private equity and growth equity transactions

• Operating businesses and special situations

• Structured or opportunistic investments

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

Compensation & Economics

• Success-based, transaction-driven compensation only

• Typical earnings range: $1,000–$10,000+ per closed deal

• Payments issued after successful transaction close and fee collection

• Economics vary by deal size, structure, and Associate role

• No caps for consistently high-quality deal flow
