Founder's Office Intern (Founding Team)

About Renate

Renate is an entrepreneurship network focused on building, backing, and accelerating real businesses. We work closely with founders at the earliest stages, helping them move from idea to execution through structured guidance, deep networks, and hands-on support. Renate operates at the intersection of entrepreneurship, technology, and capital.

This is not a traditional internship. You will work directly with the founder and core leadership on building the network, running operations, and executing high-impact initiatives.

Role Overview

As a Founder’s Office Intern, you will operate at the centre of Renate. Being a part of the founding setup, you’ll support strategic initiatives, manage execution across teams and partners, and help build systems that power the network. You will see how an entrepreneurship platform is built from the inside, decisions, trade-offs, speed, and scale.

This role is ideal for someone who wants exposure to startups, investing, strategy, and operations in a fast-moving environment.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with the founder on day-to-day execution and priority initiatives
• Support planning and execution of programs, cohorts, events, and partnerships
• Conduct research on startups, founders, markets, and ecosystems
• Coordinate with internal teams, advisors, and external stakeholders
• Prepare briefs, notes, presentations, and internal documents
• Help streamline processes and build internal operating systems
• Assist with community management, onboarding, and founder engagement

Who Is Encouraged to Apply

• Students or recent graduates with a strong interest in entrepreneurship and startups
• Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and high ownership
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Organized, detail-oriented, and execution-focused
• Curious, proactive, and willing to learn by doing
• Background in business, management, economics, engineering, or related fields is a plus

What You’ll Get

• Direct exposure to founders, operators, and investors
• Real responsibility, not shadow work
• A front-row seat to how businesses and networks are built
• Strong learning curve across strategy, operations, and execution
• Potential for long-term role based on performance
