Quick overview
Job description
Start a startup inside a startup.
Most internships hand you a project. We hand you a market. Win it, and you run it full time.
Paid internship: New Market Lead, AI · Boston
What WEVO does: Global brands use WEVO before they launch a product, website or ad. Our AI simulates their target customers and shows how they will react: what they like, what confuses them, and whether they would buy. Built on 12 patents and more than 1 million human responses. Gartner named us a Front Runner. Harvard Business School chose WEVO as its case study on simulated AI audiences.
What you will do
- Choose the market. Find an industry where knowing customer reactions early is worth real money. Make the case to our CEO.
- Find the buyers. List target companies and the decision makers: heads of marketing, product and insights.
- Get the meetings. Reach out by email, LinkedIn and events. Use your $2,500 budget to get in the door.
- Close the deal. Run WEVO on a prospect’s own product or ad, show them how their customers react, and sign them. Your name on the deal.
You will work closely with CEO Nitzan Shaer (serial entrepreneur, Harvard Business School grad) and Head of Sales Henry Thomas.
Goal: your first paying customer by spring break.
We’re picking two. Apply by November 23. Start in December or January.
REQUIREMENTS
- A Boston undergrad or grad student who has excelled at something hard.

- Available 10 hours a week during the semester, with at least 3 hours in person in Boston.
- Nice to have: marketing or entrepreneurship studies.
To apply: Send your resume and a short note: which market would you go after first, why, and how would you win it? Finalists pitch it to our CEO.
- $40 an hour plus commission. 5% of deals you close ($3,000 on a $60K deal). 2% on leads you bring that a teammate closes.
- A $2,500 starting budget to run your plan.

- Work side by side with the CEO and learn enterprise sales from the inside.
