Help Founders BuildWhat's Next
Join the team that connects real science with the people and resources it takes to turn it into a company.
Why Work at RISE Foundation?
Work at the source
You're on the IISER Kolkata campus, close to the research and the founders actually building on it
Variety, not a single lane
One day you're helping with investor prep, the next you're in a lab troubleshooting a founder's testing setup
Real impact, visible fast
In a small team, your work shows up directly in whether a start-up gets unstuck or not
Mission-driven work
Building the innovation ecosystem is the actual job, not a mission statement on a wall
