What Our Interns Say

Join the Elpis Labs Internship Program

Most internships have you watching from the sidelines. Here, you will be in the game from day one.

You will work directly with founders building technology companies. You will help startups enter new markets, research investment opportunities, and shape actual products that go to market.

We are looking for ambitious students and early-career professionals who want to learn by doing and not just watching. People who are hungry, take ownership, and aren't afraid to figure things out.

If you want to understand how startups really work, how venture capital operates behind the scenes, and what it takes to build a company from scratch, this is where you start.

Whether you want to be a founder, investor, or startup operator one day, you'll get hands-on experience working with emerging technologies and global innovation.

Our New York-based venture internship program gives you direct exposure to deal flow, portfolio companies, and the startup ecosystem. No fluff. Just building alongside people who are making it happen.

Francis LiButti
Student, Rutgers University – New Brunswick

Marketing & AI Integration Intern

"My internship with SG Labs, a Korean sports-tech startup, was the defining moment of my transition from student to professional.

I spent the summer diving deep into marketing automation and utilizing new AI tools to scale the company’s reach. The program’s networking power is incredible — you aren’t just interning for one company; you are part of a cohort of innovators.

This experience was so successful that I am officially joining the team full-time in their New York City office this fall. Elpis Labs doesn't just offer internships; they offer career pathways."
