Do you want to learn how to change the world? Join a startup as it goes from an idea to a team of 40 people and $50M in funding. You will be working primarily with the founding and core team and will have great opportunity to learn learn a lot of skills (aka super powers) from our C-level executives (CEO, COO, etc)!

At Affect Mental Health, we’re building a non-profit Y combinator (startup incubator) to help entrepreneurs build breakthrough products in mental health. We will produce products that are as impactful as Facebook and Google in mental health. Read more about 3 of many different early stage concepts we've incubated; The 1,000 Journeys Project, where we collect mental health stories to map out where transformative products can have the most impact. Meet Malik and Jessica. 

Be a member of the founding team that grew from the Harvard and MIT communities with expertise in fields such as healthcare economics, user experience design, molecular neuroscience, and computational biology. Two years ago, our CEO experienced the two most transformative months of his life participating in this program. He started with zero business experience and learned how to figure out what product to build, how to build it, and how to construct business models. At the end of the program, he raised $10M to start his company. By joining us, you will hopefully gain these superpowers! 

We’re building the special forces of fundraising and will employ the scrappy startup approach (ninja skillz) to get da monies. We will have an aggressive program to pursue the shorter term, higher chance of success approach of applying to grants and soliciting foundations. We will also pursue people with the deepest pockets. Here the ninja skillz also help by identifying the early employees of successful startups (eg. Google and Facebook) and figuring out all the high net worth individuals in the world who would be willing to give to our mission. The ideal candidate will possess the ability to thrive in a high-energy, fast-paced and entrepreneurial organization as part of a collaborative team. You have a positive, "can-do" attitude; you're hard-working, detail-oriented, self-motivated, and flexible.

Our ambition is to build sustainable enterprises—unafraid of transforming traditional approaches—that tackle stigma, access, and quality of mental healthcare.
