About The Autoimmune Fund
The Autoimmune Fund is building the first patient-centered impact fund dedicated to improving the lives of millions living with autoimmune disease. We invest in breakthrough diagnostics, preventive and predictive therapies, and remission- or cure-focused treatments that target the chronic pain, fatigue, and invisible symptoms experienced by patients every day.
Our flagship project, The Immune Decade Report, explores the scientific, clinical, and investment trends that will shape the next decade of immune based healthcare. The report brings together researchers, physicians, entrepreneurs, investors, and fellows to create a comprehensive view of the future of the autoimmune landscape.
You’ll work closely with our founder and CEO, Dr. Bonnie Feldman, a former clinical dentist, Wall Street buy-side sell-side equity research analyst, and venture-backed startup founder. She’s been featured at TEDx and Stanford Medicine X, and is actively involved in mentoring early-career team members.
