The company

Manifold Group is a venture holding company based in Chicago with offices in Dallas, Los Angeles, and soon Atlantic Canada. We employ a hybrid in-office / remote working style, although were fully remote at least until 2021.

Changing market conditionsdriven by technologycombined with excessive amounts of capital seeking a home have squeezed the returns out of the broad swathes of the market from public equities to hedge funds to private equity.

Early stage private investments represent an extraordinary investment opportunity, but existing investment models in the space leave much to be desired.

Manifold Group represents a new model designed to create and capture value at the early stage. Launched ten years ago, Manifold has three divisions:

• Manifold Ventures invests in extraordinary founders and provides strategic guidance to our portfolio to maximize asset value creation.
• Manifold Studios partners with extraordinary teams to conceive, build, and scale high growth ventures.
• Manifold Advisory partners with enterprise clients to help them adapt and grow in the context of an increasingly disruptive economy.

Details

• Venture Intern title
• Full time contract position
• Month-to-month
• Remote work (at least for now)
• $2,500 to $5,000 flat per month depending on qualifications and experience
• Were growing, so there is a reasonable chance to convert to full time for exceptional performers (but no promises)
