About the Internship

This internship is for a commercially curious, highly motivated individual interested in how partnerships, sponsorships, and growth actually work inside a founder-led media and investment platform.

You will support real partnership conversations, sales processes, and growth initiatives—working closely with senior leadership and gaining hands-on exposure to how deals are sourced, tracked, and executed.

This is not an observational internship. You will be trusted with real work.

What You’ll Do

• Support the development and management of a partners and sponsors pipeline
   
• Conduct research on potential partners and sponsors
   
• Assist with outreach, follow-ups, and relationship tracking
   
• Help prepare pitch decks, proposals, and briefing materials
   
• Track conversations, deal stages, and next steps
   
• Support execution of sales-adjacent marketing and growth initiatives
   
• Assist with event-related coordination where relevant
   

Job Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Strong interest in sales, partnerships, startups, or media
   
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
   
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and reliable
   
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, founder-led environment
   
• Curious, coachable, and willing to learn
   
• Prior exposure to sales, marketing, or business development is a plus (not required)
   

What You’ll Gain

• Direct exposure to partnership development and deal execution
   
• Understanding of how sponsorships and collaborations are structured
   
• Mentorship and real feedback from senior operators
   
• Meaningful experience in a high-visibility environment
