Prime Movers Lab invests in the founders of breakthrough scientific startups with the potential to transform billions of lives. Since launching in 2018, Prime Movers Lab has focused on six key areas including energy, infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, and human augmentation with over $1.2 billion of assets now currently under management.

At the core of our differentiated approach is our deep technical and scientific diligence used to evaluate groundbreaking technologies, along with a relentless commitment to serve and add value to every founder, investor, partner, and member of our ecosystem. We are expanding our fellowship program and are welcoming new experts as we aim to create a world of abundance for people everywhere.

We are offering fellowship opportunities to Ph.D. students and post-docs who want to gain exposure to venture capital and startups in deep technology. Fellows in this program will have an opportunity to dive deeply into an agreed-upon sector of interest where the focus will be on researching existing and emerging technologies, markets, companies, and potential customers for a shared area of interest. Fellows will seek out and engage with startups and experts in the field to help inform investment hypotheses and identify possible investment opportunities.

Fellows will publish a thought paper at the conclusion of their fellowship and may contribute to additional content creation and deal flow during their tenure. The fellowship is 16 weeks long, with the time commitment being 10-12 hours per week. Compensation for this role is $50 USD per hour.
