Read this firstThis isn't a "learn growth marketing" internship. Nobody will hand you a content calendar.

We build products that run on agents and internet data. The first one helps agencies and founders in the US and UK see what's actually winning in their market, whether it would work for them, and who they should sell to next. It's early. Nobody has bought it yet, and a lot of what we believe about it hasn't been proven.

Your job is to go and find out. You'll talk to real people in the US and UK, work out what they struggle with and what they pay for, and bring back evidence we can build on. Six months of this will teach you more than most people learn in their first two years of work. It's also hard work, and you'll have to keep at it when people don't reply.

The hoursOur customers are in New York, London and everywhere in between. That means a lot of your calls will happen in the evening or late at night by Indian time. If you can't change your day around that, this role won't work for you, and that's fine. Better to know now.

What you'll actually doTalk to people (most of your week). Find agency owners, founders and programme managers in the US and UK. Write to them one at a time, as yourself. Get them on a call. Ask about what they did last month and what they paid for, not "would you use this?" Write up every conversation the same day.

Run small tests. Every belief we have becomes a test with a number we agree on before it starts. For example: "If 300 messages to London agencies get fewer than 5 paid samples, we drop the segment." You build the test, run it, and write one page on what happened. Most tests will fail, and that's useful too. We'd rather lose a test in a week than build on a guess.

Build with agents. You'll set up workflows in Claude, n8n, Clay or whatever does the job, so research and list-building don't eat your day. The agent does the legwork and you check its work. Anything that reaches a customer has been through you first.

Show what's working. Turn what you learn into short case studies,



sample reports and posts that a sceptical agency owner in Manchester would trust.

Your numbersByWhat we expectMonth 125 real conversations logged. Three customer segments ranked, with evidence. Two tests finished and written up.Month 3Repeatable outreach that gets replies. At least 10 pilot or paid-sample conversations.

One agent workflow running every week without you watching it. First performance review, with up to ₹30k performance pay.Month 6Paying customers who came through you. A playbook someone else could follow. A clear call on which market we push harder and which we drop. Second review with up to ₹30k performance pay, then the full-time decision.

Performance pay depends on how you did against these numbers. It isn't a gift and it isn't automatic. The full time offer works the same way. Interns who get things done and beat their numbers get it, and interns who only show up don't.

You need

- Real work to show. This is the first thing we check. It could be a project you shipped, a small business, a college venture, a research piece, an automation, a community you grew, or something you sold. It doesn't have to be big, but it has to be yours and it has to be real. No prior work, no next round.
- Written English that a US or UK founder would want to reply to: short, plain and specific.
- The nerve to message strangers, the patience to keep going when nobody answers, and the discipline to stay polite while you do.
- An honest relationship with numbers. You'll tell us when a test failed instead of finding a way to make it look good.

- You already use ChatGPT or Claude every day, and you can point to a time it gave you a wrong answer.

Good to have: some selling, interviewing or freelancing for overseas clients. Basic knowledge of spreadsheets, SQL or Python. A rough idea of GDPR, CAN-SPAM and UK rules on cold messages. Not for you if

- You want a fixed playbook and someone checking in on you every day.
- You think growth means sending 5,000 cold emails or buying a list.
- You count likes and followers as results.
- You hand in AI output without checking it.
- You're planning to do this alongside classes or another job.

How you get inThere are three stages.



Each one is harder than the last, and the money comes in once you prove you're serious.

Stage 1: The challenge (open to everyone eligible, 5 days, unpaid)You send us two things:

1. Your prior work. Send a link, and add four lines: what the goal was, what you did, what happened, and what you'd do differently. We read this first. If it's missing, we don't open the rest.
2. Three real conversations. Pick one group: small marketing agencies in the UK, early-stage founders in the US, or startup programme managers in either country. Talk to three people from that group about how they research competitors and find new customers today. This is research only. You don't pitch us and you don't sell anything.

For each conversation, send:
- who they are, with their LinkedIn URL and the date you spoke
- what's hard for them, what they do about it now, and whether they spend money on it
- one thing that surprised you
- what you'd test next, with the number that would tell you it worked

Rules:

- Introduce yourself by name and say you're a student researching the market as part of an internship application.
- Use your own name. Don't use our company name, and don't make anything up.
- Message 10 people at most, one at a time, with no bulk tools.

We'll pick a few of your contacts at random and ask whether you really spoke to them. If any conversation turns out to be made up, you're out. It's that simple. Stage 2: The paid sprint (finalists only, 1 week)The best 10 to 15 people from Stage 1 get a paid one-week sprint. You'll have 10 more conversations, run one small test with a number we agree in advance, and write up the result on one page. You'll work with the team and get feedback every day. It's also how you find out whether you want to work with us.

Stage 3: Final call, then the internshipWe'll do a 45-minute call. You play the interviewer and we play a difficult agency owner from London. Then we go through your sprint, and we'll push back on at least one of your conclusions. Offers go out within days.

TimelineEveryone who applies gets a short video from our team explaining the role and the challenge. If you have questions, join the open Q&A; call we hold once a week. Finalists get a personal call.

How to applyApply on LinkedIn. You'll get the challenge brief and the video within 24 hours. Send your prior work and your three conversation logs within 5 days of receiving the brief.

We read everything we receive. Your challenge counts for more than your CV.
