Nucleus Social Media Intern
Part time and flexible. SF or NYC based is ideal, not required. If you want to skip the line, ping @alexklein0x or @reidschryer on X.
Nucleus is bringing on a Social Media Intern. This internship is for someone energized by venture, storytelling, social media, and the weird/fun intersection of media and technology. This is not a coffee runner role. This is a chance to help build the media engine behind Nucleus and work directly with the founder on all things content and social.
The first priority is The Rise podcast: finding the best moments, working with raw footage, turning pods into short-form clips, and helping build a consistent rhythm across X, Substack, and LinkedIn. We work with a focused network of top investors, founders, and technical builders across AI, infrastructure, and venture capital, so the right person is already fluent on social, curious about this world, and fired up to learn close to the action.
About the Internship
• The New Media Intern will work directly with the founder to help keep the Nucleus media engine running.
• You will help capture insights from conversations with firm founders and investors, clip and package podcast moments, keep a steady content rhythm across platforms, and build simple systems that make publishing and storytelling easier over time.
• This is a great fit for someone interested in (or coming out of) the a16z New Media Fellowship, Pirate Wires, Rostra, creator culture, podcast clipping, tech Twitter, Substack, and the broader world of tech storytelling.
• Even better if you see this as a launchpad to build a media brand, start an agency, or step into a full time role at a venture firm or technology company.
