We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented intern who can jump in the ring with our Platform team to amplify the water sector’s presence across climate, VC and beyond, and bring some much overdue attention to the fundamental molecule. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in venture capital through the lens of brand and marketing, what we believe is the primary differentiator between one VC and the next, and is a core offering our our Platform. The role is designed for professional learning and/or academic coursework, with an emphasis on collaboration and growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist in developing compelling content for our blog, newsletters, and other communication channels.
  • Help manage and grow our presence on social media by creating engaging posts and supporting the team to monitor performance metrics.
  • Manage and publish episodes of our podcast - The Fundamental Molecule, including coordinating with guests, preparing social copy, and promoting episodes across our platforms.
  • Conduct research, write, and edit engaging blog posts that highlight industry insights, portfolio companies, and trends across water and climate.
  • Support us to build out and manage our YouTube channel.
  • Work with portfolio companies to support their marketing efforts, including social media and general communications.
  • Assist in securing PR placements by identifying opportunities, drafting press releases, and reaching out to journalists to amplify our firm’s voice.

Key Skills

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has a 1-3 year professional track record of nailing everything that has been put in front of them to the wall.
  • Is fun, interested, interesting, and learns fast.
  • Reads a lot and writes well.
  • Is a good judge of character.
  • Can work closely with a supervisor to rapidly understand, break down, and communicate a complex set of facts clearly and succinctly - while also communicating their own point of view.
  • Can deal with a lot of plates spinning at the same time, keeping all of them aloft and unbroken.

Stretch Skills

Bonus points if you have:

  • Previous experience marketing or venture capital.
  • Previous experience in water.
  • Previous experience using Canva, Google Slides, Squarespace and/or Adobe.
  • A great sense of humor.

Compensation

This unpaid internship is designed to provide academic credit and hands-on experience in the field of water-focused venture capital. Candidates must be enrolled in a program that allows for credit-based internships. Applicants should verify with their institution that this internship meets credit eligibility criteria.

This role offers a unique opportunity to gain meaningful exposure to the venture capital industry, with a focus on addressing critical challenges in water sustainability and innovation.
