What exactly is Elevate Blue?
Elevate Blue is a venture studio / builder on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. We invest heavily in entrepreneurs and engineers, creating a highly unique tech scene high up in the Sierra Mountains, but with incredibly close proximity to Silicon Valley. Our CEOs and engineers have the best of both worlds - a picture-perfect setting on one of the purest lakes in the world, plus regular trips to Silicon Valley for education, meetups and social events.
We're actively looking for entrepreneurs and developers who are looking for a better lifestyle and greater challenges (and reward). This is not just a career change but a whole new way of life. Come see why our employees have escaped the rat race of the big markets (Silicon Valley, Silicon Beach, Silicon Alley, Silicon you fill in the blank…..) and are now enjoying clean mountain air and the most ideal setting to code and build truly groundbreaking startups. Oh…and with Nevada’s 0% state tax rate, it doesn’t take a math major to realize the income benefit ;)
What are we looking for?
This is a full time position – base salary, full benefits, and a sizeable equity stake in the company….plus all the added perks of working in one of the most beautiful places in the world, on the shores of Lake Tahoe.
