This role is preferably in-person (but remote is available), part-time position for students at 10-20 hours per week ($15.00-$17.00/Hr). We will be looking to hire several interns with immediate start dates. Program runs 11/15/21 to 3/1/22.
Ideal candidates will be enrolled at least part-time at any educational institute (Vocational, trade, high school, college, etc.)
The Techstars Equitech program, run in partnership with UpSurge Baltimore, is a new accelerator focused on investing in startups through the Equitech lens - prioritizing leadership by underrepresented founders, diverse teams and solutions that aim to address systemic societal challenges. Our partner, UpSurge Baltimore , was launched earlier this year to make the city a top-tier innovation hub, using the Equitech framework to carve a place in the national innovation conversation as the first-ever inclusive tech economy.
As a Founder Intern you will work directly with the founding teams, helping build the next amazing batch of Baltimore and global startups as they grow from early stage to venture-backed companies. From entrepreneurs, to investors, to mentors, your network is about to explode. You will have the opportunity to sit in on mentor meetings to get to know the best entrepreneurs and investors in the city, up close and personally. You will also have access to full involvement in Techstars Equitech and Upsurge social events with the founders and local community.
It's basically a chance to get amazing experience, broaden your network in ways you could never imagine, get exposure to some of the greatest up and coming companies and teams in the country. Historically, most interns end up being employed by one of the teams or by someone they met during the span of the three months. Many also go on to build their own companies and start a flourishing career in technology and entrepreneurship.
General Job Description
As an intern, you will be working directly with Techstars staff and the portfolio company founders in a very hands-on environment. You will serve as a key member of the accelerator throughout the 12 week program until March 1, 2022. Tasks will revolve around research, sales, data, and customer-centric projects along with mentorship from the Techstars staff and community.
We are looking for individuals who are excited about supporting startups that have goals to change the world, and Baltimore, in the process.
Ideal candidates will be students who enjoy studying liberal arts, design, engineering, business, or entrepreneurship and are passionate about technology. This is an incredibly unique experience to learn how a company is built by founders and an opportunity to play an instrumental role in supporting the Baltimore startup community.
