Emerson Collective

Powell Jobs social impact LLC; media, education, immigration
Tracked because Powell Jobs social impact LLC; media, education, immigration · 3 documented connections
Editorial summary · AI-drafted from public records

Social impact organization founded by Laurene Powell Jobs. Structured as an LLC rather than a foundation, meaning no public disclosure of grants or investments. Acquired majority stake in The Atlantic magazine. Investments span education (XQ Institute), immigration reform (FWD.us co-founder), media, and climate. The LLC structure is functionally a left-wing parallel to Thiel Capital's opacity.
