We are investors who not only fund companies but get elbow deep in building them. From helping them recruit talent to helping them recruit patients for their studies to helping match them to strategic partners and even going to Washington to win reforms, RA Capital’s large team has people with nearly every relevant expertise one might need to turn an idea into a cure that actually helps people.
If you live for first-principles problem-solving with great colleagues, thrive on complexity, and want to do meaningful work that ripples across industries and ecosystems, you’ll feel at home at RA Capital. Here, questions are welcomed, ideas are tested, and victories are shared. Even our lawyers are creative and engaging.

Are you ready to bring your creativity, discipline and collaborative spirit to help us invent the future? Join us and you’ll collaborate daily with investors, founders, physicians, biologists, engineers, economists, and reform advocates who think in systems and act with urgency.
Join us to invent a happier, healthier, more productive future - and have fun doing it.
