Gallivnt Summer Internships

Gallivnt is an early stage tech start-up headquartered in Austin, TX. We are changing how people meet new friends and find activity partners; and how hospitality brands build community and create social experiences for their guests, enabling all people to spontaneously find their community on the fly. If you are an experienced traveler or dream of travel, this is it, the chance to get in on the ground floor of a tech startup that sits at the exciting intersection of travel, fun, friends and community. We guarantee you can find an internship with a more established company, but you can’t find an internship with a more fun, or more passionate, founding team.
