1517 Fund, a venture capital firm supporting tech startups led by dropouts, renegade students, and deep tech scientists with grant, pre-seed, and seed funding, launched a Consider Job Board, showcasing all open jobs with its portfolio companies.

The career page will allow job seekers to easily find and apply for opportunities, and 1517 Fund’s startups can reach a wider talent pool.

‍

1517 focuses on founders interested in working outside tracked institutions because they believe that the path geared towards higher education is not for all. Their founders previously co-founded the Thiel Fellowship and selected grantees such as Dylan Field of Figma, Ritesh Agarwal of OYO, Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum, and Austin Russell of Luminar. They motivate people to work on what they’re passionate about, to learn by doing, and to create new technologies.

Explore Featured Startups

Candidates have a simple way to find and apply for roles with the firm’s portfolio companies. Explore opportunities with startups like:

• Luminar Technologies (Nasdaq: LAZR) is a global automotive technology company ushering in a new era of vehicle safety and autonomy. 
• Fountain’s all-in-one high volume hiring platform empowers the world’s leading enterprises to find the right people through smart, fast, and seamless recruiting.

• Browse opportunities with Manufacturing, like Tailos and Luminar.
• Search for roles with a company by stage, like at Growth (Series B or later).
