Founder's Office Internships

Founder's Office and Chief of Staff internships โ€” high-context, cross-functional support work close to the CEO of an early-stage company.

What is a Founder's Office Internship?

This is the closest seat you can get to the CEO of an early-stage company. You operate as extra leverage for the founder โ€” picking up whatever needs to move forward this week, whether it is hiring, fundraising prep, customer research, or operational firefighting.

What you will do

  • Run cross-functional initiatives on behalf of the founder
  • Prep board meetings, investor updates, and internal all-hands
  • Drive hiring loops โ€” sourcing, scheduling, candidate evaluation prep
  • Build internal dashboards, OKR trackers, and weekly metrics reports
  • Step in wherever a function lacks bandwidth and needs short-term help

What you take away

  • NTHRYS internship certificate detailing founder's office scope
  • Hands-on view of how an early-stage company actually runs at the top
  • A network with founders, operators, and investors
  • A standout profile for ops, BD, strategy, or CoS career paths
