BUILD CAPACITY THROUGH INTERNSHIPS

For Startups & Small Businesses

Growing companies need help, but most don’t have time to manage interns.

We design and manage a structured internship program that adds real execution power to your business. Interns work on defined growth projects while we handle recruiting, onboarding, structure, and management.

You get momentum. Interns get experience. Progress doesn’t stall.

STRENGTHEN ECOSYSTEMS

For Entrepreneurial Support Organization (ESO) Leaders

Healthy ecosystems require more than programming — they require pathways from learning to execution.

We partner with ESOs, universities, and ecosystem leaders to design and facilitate internship programs that:

  • Increase capacity for startups and small businesses

  • Develop the next generation of entrepreneurial talent

  • Generate meaningful, measurable ecosystem outcomes

We also support ecosystem leaders with research, strategy, and data services that clarify impact and strengthen decision-making.

  • Translating insight into strategy

  • Building systems and solutions that scale

This work supports companies, nonprofits, universities, and public agencies focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic development.
