Reviews

Marketing and Operations

January 2021 - January 2023 New York City, NY
“I liked how much I was able to learn through the entire internship. I was exposed to new business operations and processes and was able to firsthand learn this with the founder and also create work that directly impacted the startup. I was also able to see the first stages of a startup and wear multiple hats which allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to grow a startup and the behind the scenes,”

“The founder William Gargan is really kind and passionate. I learned a lot from him, including business fundamentals, western culture, and even some English slang. It is great to work with him.”
