Durham / Acre / Capital Markets Intern

Acre is a venture-backed real estate finance and technology company on a mission to create the best way to experience homeownership. Acre’s founders are seasoned entrepreneurs who believe that ownership matters and that buying a home need not be the biggest financial decision of your life. Acre’s model empowers people to buy high quality homes in great neighborhoods, share in the upside of ownership, and care for the home at a lower cost — and without any debt.

The Acre team is excited to offer an internship opportunity for a customer-focused, entrepreneurial mentee to support the development and implementation of Acre’s capital markets strategy. This person will work alongside Acre’s founding team at an especially interesting economic period of high interest rates, constrained supply, and limited price discovery.

Specific efforts during this internship may include:
+ Gathering, cleaning, and interpreting real estate data across multiple markets in the U.S.
+ Researching potential investors and debt providers — both venture and real estate

Acre will be bringing on one intern with strong analytical and communication skills (both verbal and written). This person should have an interest in entrepreneurship, finance, or investment management.

This is a paid internship. Weekly commitment and total duration are flexible.
