"What's the culture like?"... We don't have one yet, you're going to help us define that.
"What's our process for due diligence?"... We need to build one, do you want to help?
Very few people are invited into venture, even fewer get to play an active role in creating a new firm from scratch. To say that our Fall Intern Team has its work cut out for it would be an understatement; this is a startup. Thankfully we've assembled an incredible team of hardworking and ambitious people who have already rolled up their sleeves to set Groove in motion.
Please meet the team:
