Gray hair does not make an elder…
shaving one's head does not make a monk…
observing silence does not make a sage.

"Money Raised Or A Title Stated Does Not Make A Founder."
The distinction is not to be a founder, but to be one who has built a foundation on which a new future can be constructed.
We at PEAK6 have long since neglected the signals and instead opted for the path. We have started or turned around more than 15 companies—including multiple unicorns as defined by enterprise value, not myth—and we've built technology that underpins the largest Fintech brands in the world.
We take bets not to win the finite game but to continue to play in the infinite game of entrepreneurship. We've done it with our own capital and a culture in Chicago and Austin tapped into—but distinct from —the doctrines on both coasts.
PEAK6 is fertile ground for a special type of founder.
And we're inviting you to join us in Austin for a salaried residency to launch your own company and build the Future of Fintech. There will be more details to come in 2026, but share your contact with us and we will keep you updated on the application process. We look forward to meeting soon.
