Entrepreneur in Residence with PEAK6 Trials
Who We Are
PEAK6 is a trading firm and financial technology company that has been redefining what is possible in financial markets for over 25 years. Headquartered at the Chicago Board of Trade, we have built a portfolio of nine businesses spanning trading, fintech, and esports, all connected by a drive to find smarter, faster, and better ways to solve hard problems.
PEAK6 was started 30 years ago by Jenny Just and Matt Hulsizer as an options trading firm. They've since operated without a single down year and have taken those proceeds to start, invest in, and turn around more than 15 businesses. Today, the PEAK6 portfolio of founded companies includes multiple multi-billion dollar companies.
We're founder-led and operated to this day - meaning we know all too well the grit and resilience it takes to win, and that access to the right networks and distribution can improve your odds. Trials filters for that grit and resilience. And provides founders with direct access to that network and distribution.
About PEAK6 Trials
PEAK6 Trials is a 12-month paid founder residency for early-stage entrepreneurs who are ready to build the next generation of financial technology businesses.
As a Trials founder in residency, you'll be embedded within the PEAK6 ecosystem with one goal: build a fintech business from the ground up. You'll have direct access to PEAK6's portfolio of companies, hundreds of team members ready to help validate your ideas, and the capital and distribution infrastructure to move fast. This is a 12+ month paid commitment with no cohorts, no demo days, just real work toward real capital.
What We're Looking For: Trials is for builders who are all-in, either obsessed with a specific fintech problem they're ready to pursue, or hungry enough to find one fast once they're inside the ecosystem
rather than in isolation.
Applications are now open. Visit peak6trials.com to apply.
No pitch deck required. No formal application portal. We want to hear from builders, not presenters.
