We are looking for new EIRs to join the team who will research business opportunities and will manage startups we cofound and invest in.

The startups we cofound are mission-driven - focused on improving something that matters - and ultimately grow to a billion-dollar market capitalization over 5-10 years.

You won't be just learning theoretical concepts - real-world market performance is paramount to our model.

Each EIR is afforded a high amount of independence and autonomy, as well as a significant ownership stake in your eventual startup.
