Job description

At Bethnal Green Ventures, our aim is to inspire, connect and support people who are using technology to solve some of our biggest social and environmental challenges, from supporting an ageing population, to living on a planet of limited resources; from educating our children, to creating healthier communities.

We’ve developed Europe’s leading accelerator programme for supporting early stage social ventures. Our teams are taken through a three month programme which is designed to speed up the growth of their startup. We help them through a process of lean innovation of user research, customer development, impact measurement, business model development, investment and growth. Our internship programme will give you a chance to see how BGV works and get involved with the day to day running of our accelerator programme. You will support the operational management of our programme and assist in the development of our tech for good community. You will be responsible for:

* The delivery of our accelerator programme; getting the space ready for workshops, organising lunches, coordinating speakers and making sure everyone know what’s happening and when.
* Organising our Demo Day; finding a venue, arranging catering, liaising with film crew, managing the invite list and the teams in the lead up to the event, and
* Co-ordinating our Tech For Good meetups; researching and sourcing speakers, organising venues, catering and managing attendees
* Helping to manage our office space and responding to general enquiries

Person specification:

* Shares our values and is excited by the tech for good startup scene
* Good at getting stuff done
* Willing to muck in with a variety of tasks

* A fun place to work in London (we’re based at Ministry of Startups in Shoreditch).
* The opportunity to build relationships with the tech for good community in London and beyond - be they impact investors, startups, policy makers or funders.
* Meet lots of interesting and passionate people and help solve big, important problems.
* The opportunity to have a say in what and where you want to develop while gaining a broad overview of what goes on at Bethnal Green Ventures.
* What we can’t offer you A job at the end of it. We are a small team and we can’t promise you a job with BGV at the end. This internship is designed to give you exposure to all elements of our network, and we hope it will act as a stepping stone to working with one of our alumni startups, funders or investors.

The internship is due to run from Monday 10th July until Friday 1st December. However we are flexible on the start date. We are likely to hold interviews during the week of July 1st.

Make every future a success.
