Founders Associate Intern

On-site San Francisco, United States full time

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.

Compensation & Benefits

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.
