Psychology & Child Development Intern

About Us

TBD Investors is a private investment firm that backs exceptional searchers and entrepreneurs as they acquire, operate, and build enduring companies. We invest our own capital, often as a lead investor and alongside other investors such as Nashton, and work closely with healthcare leaders.

Our healthcare businesses help children receive therapy, support teenagers struggling with mental health, provide primary and specialty medical care, and improve the experiences of patients and families.

We believe enduring businesses are built by people who take responsibility, care about their customers and employees, and make things better every day.

• Human development and family studies
• Education
• Behavioral science
• Social work
• Neuroscience
• Public health
