Trust Ventures Analyst / Associate
About Trust Ventures
Many technologies with tremendous potential for societal impact never make it into the hands of those who need them because of outdated or incumbent-driven regulatory barriers.
Trust Ventures is a venture capital fund focused on removing barriers that keep innovators and entrepreneurs from bringing life-changing ideas to market that can transform some of the largest industries and solve massive social challenges. We help our portfolio companies understand the shifting policy landscape and navigate regulatory barriers and gray areas. We manage over $500 million in capital and have helped our portfolio companies across sectors–including healthcare, clean energy, and housing–secure unprecedented regulatory clearances and change state and federal laws, unlocking access to their innovations for hundreds of millions of Americans.
