We are a fast-paced technology startup based in Austin, Texas, so joining now is an excellent opportunity to learn hands-on business and entrepreneurial skills. We’re looking for sharp, hard-working, quick-learning college students (and recent grads) to join us. If that sounds like you, read on.

The Internship is going to be for the Spring time. If you go above and beyond, we may extend it!

The most important qualifications are that you’re hardworking and can learn quickly. We can train you to do most tasks as long as you exhibit those traits. Ideally, we’re looking for a college student who’s interested in entrepreneurship and technology startups. That way, you can take away some valuable information from this experience.

Here are some good guidelines:

You’re enrolled as an undergraduate student or you’re a recent college grad.
You can work at least 20 hours per week (part-time), including evenings and/or weekends.
You have an affinity and aptitude for communications, both oral and written.
