Startup Weekend Summer Intern in San Francisco
Startup Weekend —
San Francisco, CA
Description of Position:
Startup Weekend is looking for an intern to join us this summer!
This is a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of one of the worlds largest international non-profits. This internship will build skills relevant for pursuing a career in entrepreneurship, project management, marketing, event planning, and more. We are looking for someone who wants to build their own internship: we will come up with projects tailored to you and will provide you with the resources you might need to pursue your own startup.
About Us:
At Startup Weekend, we believe that entrepreneurship is the single largest driving force for creating jobs for ourselves, opportunities for our neighbors, and ultimately, more responsible and thriving societies. At its core, Startup Weekend is a democratizer of entrepreneurship. Startup Weekend events are organized according to a mission rooted in empowerment and education. Over the course of 54 hours, participants pitch ideas, form teams, and ultimately, launch companies. Startup Weekends create a low-pressure, fast-paced environment that connects entrepreneurs with mentors, resources, and most importantly, one another.
Our San Francisco team is composed of two members of the Startup Weekend Core team. One of us works on the operations side and one in special events. Were looking for a third member for our SF team this summer who will join in on the adventure that is our day-to-day workplace environment. We like to have a lot of fun, laugh, eat, and go out to happy hours and events all around the city that involve startups and entrepreneurship.
