You'll work directly with the founder of a rapidly growing company, gaining experience that most internships simply can't offer.

Instead of being assigned repetitive administrative work, you'll help build partnerships, improve operations, support marketing initiatives, and contribute ideas that help shape the future of the business.

Success in this role looks like someone who takes initiative, stays organized, enjoys solving problems, and genuinely wants to help grow a local business. If you're excited about startups and want your work to make a real impact, we'd love to meet you.
