By launching new technology startups alongside established organizations, we unlock growth and innovation that addresses some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Venture building, in our view, is a powerful force for change—and the world needs more new companies to tackle complex global issues head-on.

Founded in 2020, our Venture Build Team is trusted to help our partners get started on their venture building journey, develop an enduring mechanism for venture creation, manage organizational tension, create advantage for the companies they are launching with us, increase the odds of startup success, and secure additional resources and funding. The Venture Build team sits at the intersection of brand new venture backable startup ideas, and centuries-old legacy institutions and companies. We have a passion for the energy and creativity that only startups can create, as well as an admiration for the scope, scale, and capabilities of our partners.

As a Venture Builder, you will identify, research, validate and advance opportunities to launch startups with our partners by conducting comprehensive market research, testing critical assumptions, and effectively communicating their findings. You excel in distilling complex research into easily digestible and actionable deliverables that provide insightful and useful guidance. Through a combination of research and analysis, you will create partner-ready materials that contribute to the advancement of the work plan.

As we collaborate with our partners to identify and pursue venture opportunities, we often engage with external talent on a project basis to meet critical deadlines and deliverables.
