What’s better than a company with an inspiring mission? A company with an inspiring mission that’s also a great place to work. 

For any mission-driven company, support plays a leading role in driving progress. At Cie, this support takes the form of new business launches, buoyed by a mission to help entrepreneurs thrive. 

The venture studio and accelerator understands how challenging it can be to get a novel idea off the ground, especially for those who are tasked with bringing these types of ideas to life. That’s why the company ensures that its own employees have what they need to push its commitment forward, from access to mental health benefits to 401(k) matching. 

At Cie, internal empowerment is essential to business success. Because without motivated people to drive it, a mission just becomes words on a wall rather than a galvanizing call to action.
