Overview

AngelList's Technical Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) program is designed for software engineers who anticipate starting a company within the next 2-3 years but do not yet have a specific idea. The program combines real-world product and engineering work at AngelList Venture with the ability to meet top founders and investors through AngelList's extensive network.

EIRs work as full-time engineers at AngelList, contributing to the company's product and infrastructure while simultaneously building the relationships and knowledge base needed to launch their own ventures. AngelList commits to investing at least $150,000 in companies started by EIRs, providing a concrete financial incentive alongside the experience.
