About the role
About Roundtable
Roundtable is building the proof-of-human layer for the internet: technology that distinguishes real people from increasingly sophisticated AI-driven bots. We turn cutting-edge behavioral research into production systems for bot detection, fraud prevention, and continuous identity and access management.
Roundtable was founded in 2023 by two Princeton scientists: Mayank Agrawal and Matt Hardy. They have published in Science, PNAS, Nature Human Behaviour, and Psychological Review and are backed by Y Combinator and Brickyard Ventures.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of frontier ML research, venture capital, and federal funding.
The Role
We're looking for an exceptional MBA summer associate to work directly with the CEO on two core priorities:
- Securing non-dilutive funding through federal and foundation grants
- Securing one to multiple early-stage venture capital term sheets
What You'll Do
Grant Strategy & Execution. Identify grant opportunities across federal agencies (e.g. NSF SBIR/STTR, AFWERX, DARPA, DHS, NIH, NIST) and private foundations. Own the application lifecycle: translate research into proposals, build budgets, manage federal registrations and submission timelines.
