Founders Associate Intern

About the Role

Work directly with the founder at an early-stage fintech company developing AI-powered investment banking services and media. You will take important projects from open questions through research, recommendations, and execution.

What You'll Do

Identify potential clients and partners, develop outreach approaches, and help turn conversations into commercial relationships.

Research investors, refine fundraising materials, build financial analyses, and coordinate diligence and follow-ups.

Support recruiting by finding and assessing candidates and building effective team processes.

Investigate strategic opportunities and execute high-priority projects for the founder.

What We're Looking For

Zero to three years of experience, with experience in at least one relevant area such as investment banking, consulting, private equity, adjacent finance, or a high-growth startup.

Experience across multiple relevant areas is valuable, as is work in fintech, AI, or venture-backed startups.

Ability to take an unfamiliar problem from research through a clear recommendation and execution.

Experience contributing to financial modeling, fundraising, business development, deals, partnerships, or client outcomes is helpful.

Strong commercial judgment, resourcefulness, discretion, and communication skills; experience working closely with a founder or executive is a plus.

Salary: $80,000 to $110,000 annually. The internship is expected to last 3 to 6 months, with a start date around November 1. Visa sponsorship information was not provided.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California.
