Full-time and part-time hires are expensive and risky before you've found product-market fit. Venture Interns Lab gives you a small, structured team for a single 12-week term, priced as a flat program due, not a salary.
Every team is led by a project manager who owns timelines, documentation, and communication back to you.
Interns are matched to your actual needs: marketing, PM, financial strategy, web dev and AI, administrative support, or industry-specific consulting.
Teams brief the full cohort every week, so progress stays visible and on track, not just to you, but to the whole program.
Twelve weeks, clear start and end. Extend into another term if it's working, or wrap cleanly if it's not.
At term's end, pitch your venture and your team's work to a room of founders, peers, and prospective hires or investors.
Clear contracts on scope, expectations, and commitment for both your venture and the interns you're matched with.
Share your venture's stage, goals, and the gaps you want a team to help close.
We build a team around your needs, sized and skilled to fit your venture, not a generic template.
You, your project manager, and program leadership align on scope, roles, and how the team will communicate day to day.
The team works your priorities, briefs the cohort weekly, and keeps a running log of hours and deliverables.
Present progress at the term's showcase. Want to continue? We can roll the same team into the next term.
Program dues are a flat, per-term rate that scales with team size: not a wage, not a stake in your company. Final pricing is confirmed when we scope your team.
This pricing applies to the current cohort. Starting January 2027, the program moves to a monthly model, with ventures paying a per-intern monthly due starting at $100/month instead of one flat term due. Read more about the change.
No. Interns join your venture through Venture Interns Lab under a written program agreement, not an employment contract. You pay a flat program due, not a wage.
Your primary point of contact is your team's project manager, who aggregates work, manages the intern team, and briefs you on progress. Program leadership stays available for anything outside the project manager's scope.
Each engagement runs one 12-week term at a time. If it's working, we can roll the same team into the next term. If not, the engagement ends cleanly at the showcase.
Operating independently lets us offer clear, enforceable agreements to both ventures and interns, and keeps the program's brand and processes owned by the program itself rather than any one institution.
No. This cohort runs on the current flat, per-term due. Starting January 2027, we're moving to a monthly model: ventures pay a monthly due per intern, starting at $100/month, and keep their team on an ongoing basis, with terms negotiated individually per venture and per intern group.
Tell us about your venture and what you need, and we'll match you with a team ahead of the next term. Prefer to talk it through first? Book a meeting instead.
