Are you looking for an internship that actually teaches you how modern startup marketing works? Want hands-on experience in SEO, GEO, social media, influencer outreach, PR, content marketing, and growth strategy while working directly with experienced startup marketers?
This internship is offered by GrowthExpertz, a startup marketing agency that has helped hundreds of startups launch, grow, raise funding, and scale. You'll work directly with GrowthExpertz founder Andrew Lee Miller, a 20+ year startup marketing veteran who has helped drive multiple startup exits and advised companies ranging from early-stage to venture-backed startups.
You'll receive direct mentorship, real ownership over projects, and exposure to the same marketing strategies used to help startups acquire customers, raise capital, and scale.
For this internship, you'll be embedded with one of our newest clients, OptiAI, a B2C mobile app that connects your home, pets, health, childcare, hobbies, and finances into one AI-powered life system. Rather than working on hypothetical projects or busywork, you'll gain hands-on experience helping launch and grow a real startup from the ground up.
Most families are already running a system, it just lives inside their head. Finances are tucked away somewhere, grocery lists that never quite get updated, doctor appointments and soccer practice cramming one calendar while everything else fills up another. OptiAI pulls it all into one place, with an AI assistant that keeps everything current when life gets busy.
The app is built for busy families, and especially for the moms who run them. From meal planning and grocery lists to vaccination tracking, family calendars, and wealth management, OptiAI is the only app that handles all of it in one place.
We're in early growth mode: building social presence, optimizing the App Store listing, and putting the marketing foundation in place. Whoever joins now gets to help build something from the ground up.
