MicroInterns

Start from a brief, not a blank box

Most founders know the outcome they want and not the shape of the work that gets there. These are 12 briefs scoped to fit a one-to-four-week micro-internship, each written as the thing you end up holding. Pick one and we will send you the brief behind it: the deliverable in full, the steps the intern works through, and what we need from you. Or start it straight away and we scope it with you.

Whole projects start at £349 and the student is paid for every one. We send the full briefs to companies, so we ask for a work email and who you are with.

Nothing here is quite it?

These twelve are a starting point, not the limit of what we take on. The blank form takes about an hour and rough edges are fine, because we refine the scope with you either way.
