Product Development Intern — SlideUp Social Inc.Unpaid · Part-time (up to 10 hrs/week) · Remote · Sept 8 – Dec 4, 2026
SlideUp is an anonymous social app for international students. You verify with your school email, and you get a feed that's only your campus — questions, confessions, course advice, the stuff nobody puts on Instagram. We're live on the App Store at schools including BU, NYU, Columbia, UCLA, and Berkeley. We're a team of three, started by international students who wanted this to exist — so you'd be working alongside a third of the company.
Before you read further: this internship is unpaid. No salary, no stipend, no hourly wage. It's built as a learning experience for a student who wants to see how marketing works at an early-stage startup, and it doesn't come with a promise of a paid role afterward. If that's not what you're looking for, totally fair — no hard feelings.
What you'd actually doYou'd work directly with our Marketing Lead, about 10 hours a week:
• Sit in on the discussions where we decide what to promote and how
• Shadow her while she plans and reviews our ads — who we're targeting, what the message is, why we picked that channel over another
• Pitch in on pieces of a campaign under her direction
• Look at the numbers afterward and talk through what actually worked
She reviews everything with you and you can ask her anything. You won't be handed a project and left to figure it out alone — that's not what this is.
What you get out of it• A real look at how a startup markets a consumer app, from a team small enough that you'll see the whole thing
• A letter of recommendation from your Marketing Lead when you finish
• Work you contributed to that you can actually talk about in interviews
• Academic credit, if your school offers it — we'll fill out whatever your program needs
Who we're looking forCurrently enrolled somewhere, curious about marketing, and willing to say "I don't get it" when you don't get it. That's the list. No experience needed, no prior coursework required.
HoursUp to 10 a week, never more. We'll build your schedule around your classes and back off during exams. It runs Sept 8 to Dec 4 and ends there.
To applyApply through LinkedIn with your resume. If you want, tell us about an app or ad you've noticed lately and what you thought of it — two sentences is plenty.
