Remote · Independent Contractor · Flexible Engagement

About the Role

Initio Raise is building a network of Investors in Residence (IIRs)—experienced angels, VCs, and capital allocators who help guide the next generation of investors inside our ecosystem.

This is a coaching and influence role, not a capital deployment role.

You’ll work directly with angel investors and emerging fund managers, helping them evaluate deals, refine their investment thesis, and make better decisions—while gaining access to curated deal flow and a growing investor network.

You bring judgment and experience.
We provide deal flow, infrastructure, and distribution.

What You’ll Do

• Coach angel investors and emerging managers on deal evaluation and decision-making

• Guide investors on portfolio construction, check sizing, and diversification strategy

• Help refine investment theses and sector focus

• Lead diligence sessions using live Initio deal flow

• Break down real opportunities (strengths, risks, positioning)

• Host investor education sessions, roundtables, and discussions

• Support onboarding and development of new investors in the ecosystem

• Refer accredited investors into Initio’s investment platform, SPVs, and syndicates

What You Get

• Access to curated startup deal flow across stages

• Full visibility into Initio’s 300+ investor network

• Ability to shape how capital is deployed across the ecosystem

• Positioning as a thought leader within an active investor community

• Referral commissions on investors you bring into the platform

• Optional pathways into:

  • Venture Partner (operate deals)

  • SPV participation or deeper investment roles

Compensation

• Flexible structure based on involvement:

  • Part-time / advisory-based

  • Optional stipend for consistent engagement

  • Referral commissions on onboarded investors

• Non-linear upside through ecosystem participation and deal access

Who This Is For

• Active or former angel investors, VCs, or fund managers

• Finance professionals with strong investment judgment

• Operators who’ve transitioned into investing

• Individuals passionate about teaching, coaching, and capital allocation

• Those who want to stay active in venture without deploying capital full-time

Ideal Candidate

• Experience evaluating startup investments (angel, VC, or institutional)

• Strong understanding of risk, return, and portfolio strategy

• Ability to clearly articulate why a deal works (or doesn’t)

• Comfortable leading discussions and educating groups

• High credibility and signal within investor or startup communities

Why This Role Exists

Most new investors fail not lack of access—but lack of:

• Structured decision-making frameworks

• Pattern recognition

• Portfolio strategy discipline

Investor in Residence solves that.

You act as the force multiplier for capital quality—helping investors deploy smarter, not just faster.

Role Structure

• Independent Contractor (1099)

• Remote and non-exclusive

• Flexible time commitment

• Integrated into Initio’s investor and partner ecosystem

Why Initio Raise

We’ve built the infrastructure most investors don’t have:

• Curated, vetted deal flow

• AI-powered diligence and matching

• Structured investment workflows

• A growing network of founders, operators, and capital allocators

You plug in where it matters most: judgment, insight, and guidance.
