What We Do

PEAK6 is not your typical holding company. We're in the business of doing, creating, and building the world with innovation and democratization in mind. We seek out the transformational opportunity — making it better, more useful, more valuable.

PEAK6 builds and invests in businesses that span from finance and insurance to esports and education — and we’re always seeking new opportunities. We activate “what is” into “what ought to be” through world-class technology, operational excellence, and purposeful design.

Why Work With Us

Ordinary doesn't apply here. We look for people who aren’t afraid to take chances, who bet on themselves and do it with confidence. People that dream up big ideas and ways to execute them. Epic storytellers, nimble problem solvers, imaginative entrepreneurs, and change-makers are all welcome.
