Overview
**We help everyday people to invest in the startups they love.** Wefunder is the largest funding platform connecting founders with their community. Over the past few years, we've helped fund over 1000 pre-IPO startups with $500M+, from early-stage moonshots to unicorns.
Details
What we’re looking for
We have a strong bend towards hiring founders and founder-types. Experience doesn’t matter as much as drive and grit. We look for interns who want to punch above their weight, and level up fast. That means you’ll be working on projects you’re probably not qualified for, surrounded by smart people. If that sounds fun, read on.
Here are some things you might be doing in the day-to-day:
- Scouting out and onboarding cool businesses we can help fund
- Planning events where investors fund companies
- Coaching founders on how to run their Community Round
- Helping our customers through email and phone support
- Telling the story of founders through video and text
- Inviting cool founders and investors to our weekly dinners
- QA’ing our website for bugs
- Preparing government filings (doesn’t sound like it, but we’ll make it fun)

Description of Ideal Candidate
Here are some things we think are important…
- You live in the Bay Area or can move here for the duration of your internship. We’re in the office together just about every day.
- Founder mindset. We want people who are able to tackle difficult problems on their own and proactively look for new ways to improve Wefunder. In other words: You can just figure it out.
- Learn quickly. There are tons of details to learn; securities regulations are quite complex and things change fast around here. You must be able to absorb and retain a lot of facts quickly.
- Organization and attention to detail. It's important that no balls get dropped when dealing with multiple projects and stakeholders.
- Strong people skills. You should have a talent for making people feel instantly comfortable, heard, and understood.
- Responsible & accountable. If you say you will do it, you do it.
We celebrate our diversity. If you feel like you don't meet all of the points below, we encourage you to apply anyways. We don't want a confidence gap and imposter syndrome to get in the way of meeting incredible candidates.
