The Unfiltered Startup (TUS) is a growth-focused company helping ambitious businesses acquire customers, improve their marketing, and scale.

We're building an international growth operation with a robust focus on the US market — and we're looking for someone who doesn't want a typical internship.

Someone who wants to learn by doing.

Someone who wants to understand how businesses actually make money.

Someone who wants their performance to have a direct connection to their upside.

Why This Internship Is Different

You'll work directly with the founding team, including IIT Delhi founders, rather than being buried inside a large organization with five layers of management.

You'll see how founders think about:

Revenue → Customers → Sales → Marketing → Growth → Scale

And you'll be involved in actually building those systems.

TUS works with businesses on $2,000–$5,000/month recurring retainers.

So this isn't about selling ₹500 products or chasing meaningless lead numbers.

You're learning to sell real growth services to real businesses in the US.

Skin in the Game

Here's the part that makes this different.

We don't want to create another internship where you work for three months, receive a certificate, and forget everything you learned.

We want you to understand the economics of what you're doing.

When your work contributes to acquiring a client paying $2K–$5K/month, you're creating recurring revenue for the company.

Strong performers can participate in performance-based profit sharing tied to the business they help generate, subject to the compensation structure agreed upon with the candidate.

In other words

Your upside isn't completely disconnected from your output.

You create more value → you become more valuable → your potential upside increases.

The exact profit-sharing structure will be discussed during the selection process.

What You'll Actually Do

You'll be part of the outbound sales engine.

Prospecting

- Identify high-value businesses in the US.
- Research founders, CEOs, and decision-makers.




- Build highly targeted prospect lists.
- Understand each prospect before reaching out.

Outreach

- Execute cold outreach through LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, and other channels.
- Write personalized messages that actually get responses.
- Experiment with different hooks, offers, and positioning.
- Start conversations with people who have never heard of TUS.

Sales

- Understand a prospect's business and growth problems.
- Qualify potential clients.
- Handle initial objections.
- Follow up strategically.
- Book qualified meetings.
- Participate in sales conversations.
- Help move opportunities toward becoming paying clients.

Growth

- Track response rates, meetings, conversion rates, and revenue.
- Identify what's working and what's not.
- Improve the sales process continuously.
- Work directly with the founders to build a repeatable acquisition engine.

What You'll Get Access To

This is where the internship becomes valuable.

You'll get exposure to how founders actually operate, including:

- International B2B sales
- US market acquisition
- High-ticket sales
- Cold outreach
- Sales psychology
- Lead qualification
- Objection handling
- Negotiation
- Closing
- Recurring revenue
- Client acquisition
- Growth strategy
- CRM and sales systems
- AI-powered sales workflows
- Building a sales engine from zero

And because you'll be working closely with the founding team, you'll see the decisions behind the numbers — not just receive isolated tasks.

Who We're Looking For

We're not obsessed with your degree.

We're looking for someone with hunger.

You should be:

- Highly ambitious.
- Excellent at written and spoken English.




- Confident talking to business owners.
- Comfortable approaching strangers.
- Comfortable with rejection.
- Extremely proactive.
- Curious about business and how companies make money.
- Persistent with follow-ups.
- Fast at learning.
- Comfortable with targets and numbers.
- Willing to take ownership.
- Comfortable using LinkedIn, Google Sheets, CRM tools, email, and AI.
- Interested in sales, entrepreneurship, startups, marketing, or business development.

Prior sales experience is a bonus. It is not mandatory.

A student or recent graduate who can think, communicate, and execute can outperform someone with two years of mediocre sales experience.

How We'll Judge You

Not by how busy you look.

By what you create.

We'll look at

Prospects → Conversations → Qualified Opportunities → Meetings → Clients → Revenue

You'll learn quickly that activity without results doesn't mean much.

Sending 1,000 messages isn't impressive if nobody wants to talk to you.

Finding 20 highly relevant prospects and turning 5 of them into genuine sales conversations is far more valuable.

Don't Apply If...

You're looking for

- A certificate.
- A relaxed internship.
- Someone to assign you tasks every morning.
- Guaranteed rewards regardless of performance.
- A role where you never have to speak to strangers.
- A fancy title without accountability.

This isn't that internship.

You'll get rejected.

You'll get ignored.

Your messaging will fail.

You'll have to figure out why.

Then you'll try again.

? Apply If...

You want to leave the internship knowing:

“I know how to generate business.”

You want direct exposure to founders.

You want experience selling into the US.

You want to understand how a company goes from zero conversation → signed client → recurring revenue.

You want a skill that can eventually make you money anywhere in the world.

And most importantly:

You don't want to just observe entrepreneurship. You want to participate in it.
