ABOUT INITIO CAPITAL

Initio Capital is a strategic growth partner for founders, startups, and scaling businesses. We help companies raise capital, build revenue operations, hire, and run their back office, through our own services and a vetted partner network covering banking, accounting, payroll and HR.

THE ROLE

You are already seeing the deals. You just cannot write a check into all of them.

If you angel invest in Austin, you turn down far more than you fund. Not because the companies are bad. Because you have 1 check and 20 conversations.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO

• Introduce us to founders in Austin you rate but are not funding yourself.
• Tell us why you passed. That is often more useful than why you would invest.
• 2 to 4 founders a month, entirely on your judgment.

WHO THIS IS FOR

• Active angels writing checks into Austin companies.
• Syndicate and rolling fund leads.
• Former founders who see deal flow but do not have a fund behind them.

WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU BEYOND THE MONEY

The founders you pass on still need capital raising help, bookkeeping, recruiting and operational infrastructure. Sending them somewhere useful costs you nothing and pays you something. Your existing investments and any other scout arrangements are your business. We do not ask for exclusivity.

TIME COMMITMENT

A few hours a month. Remote.

WHAT YOU ARE INTRODUCING FOUNDERS TO

So you know exactly what the meeting is about:

• Capital raising. Done-with-you and done-for-you programs, including syndicated funding through Initio's own fund. The program is built around putting founders in front of 40+ investor meetings.
• B2B go-to-market. Revenue operations, sales strategy, meeting generation, and lead qualification.
• Staffing and hiring. Recruiting support for founders building out the team.
• A partner network. Banking, accounting and back office, payroll and HR, through vetted partners including Brex, SE Financial, and Punch Financial.
• The founder community. Over $5 million in startup discounts, a private founder network, and a venture score on their profile.

Most scout and referral programs pay you nothing until a deal closes. This one pays on the meeting.

No salary, no draw, no quota. You are paid on activity, not only on outcomes.

HOW TO APPLY

Send us 1 paragraph: which founders in Austin you already know, and 1 company you would introduce us to this month. That is the whole application. No resume needed.
