Get an Insider’s View of Startups — Without Quitting School or Your Job
Venture Starters is opening its Startup Intern Program for 2026, designed for those who want real exposure to startups, founders, and investors.
This internship is auto-accepted and requires just 16 total hours over 3–6 months. You can also become an intern for a startup (this is separate from the internship program at Venture Starters.)
Venture Starters is a community within the startup eco-system focused on solving the world's problems by supporting startups. We are a public service platform that connects interns with startup founders.
Startups come to Venture Starters Zoom meetings to get exposure to investors and in some cases to find interns to help them. Approximately 20 startups pitch at each Zoom meeting.
Our goal is to get you to watch at least 8 Zoom meetings and see if you can connect with startups that interest you for internships. And if you just want to watch and learn, that is great too.
What You’ll Gain:
• Auto-acceptance into the intern program
• Certificate of Completion after attending 8 Zoom meetings
• A recognized internship you can add to:
• Your résumé
• Your LinkedIn profile
• First-hand exposure to:
• Startup founders pitching real companies
• Investors sharing what they look for
• Early-stage teams forming in real time

Total commitment:
8 Zoom meetings × 2 hours each = 16 hours total
