About Hightable

Hightable is a global, invite-only collective connecting startup founders with capital, mentorship, and go-to-market support. Driven by seasoned founders, CXOs, and industry experts, we help startups navigate fundraising, GTM strategy, and market access — building the ecosystem around Money, Mentor, Market.

About the Internship

We're looking for a driven, numbers-oriented intern to join the Founder's Office for a 6-month, high-ownership stint focused on growth, revenue, and partnerships. You'll work directly with the VP — not on side projects, but on the core levers that drive Hightable's community, top line, and ecosystem relationships. Strong performers will be considered for a full-time offer at the end of the term.

Key Responsibilities

Growth

Own top-of-funnel growth — build and execute outreach campaigns to attract founders, investors, and mentors to the Hightable community
Run and iterate on growth experiments across LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp communities, referrals, and events; track what converts and double down
Build and maintain a growth funnel/dashboard — track applications, conversions, activations, and churn
Set and report on weekly/monthly growth targets (new member sign-ups, event RSVPs, engagement rate) to the VP
Identify and tap into founder communities, college entrepreneurship cells, and startup events to expand reach
Support end-to-end planning and execution of community events, mixers, and conferences — from outreach to on-ground coordination to post-event follow-up

Revenue

Support revenue-generating initiatives tied to membership plans, sponsorships, and paid services (GTM/Talent offerings)
Assist in building pricing pitches, proposals, and sales collateral for prospective members and partners
Track and follow up on the sales/membership pipeline — leads, conversations, conversions, and renewals
Help identify upsell/cross-sell opportunities within the existing member base (e.g., GTM services, event sponsorships)
Maintain revenue trackers and contribute to weekly pipeline reviews with the VP
Support outreach for sponsorship deals around Hightable events and conferences

Partnerships

Build and maintain a partnership pipeline — map, prioritize, and reach out to VCs, accelerators, corporates, and service providers relevant to the startup ecosystem
Draft outreach messages, partnership decks, and collaboration proposals
Coordinate calls/meetings between the VP and prospective partners; take notes and drive follow-ups to closure
Manage relationships with existing partners — ensure deliverables (co-hosted events, referrals, content collabs) are tracked and executed on time
Represent Hightable at external events, conferences, and partner meetings, building Hightable's visibility in the ecosystem
Maintain a CRM/tracker of all partner conversations, status, and next steps for leadership visibility

Founder's Office / Strategic Support

Work directly with the VP on strategic projects — market research, competitive analysis, and GTM strategy for member startups
Prepare decks, MIS reports, and dashboards to keep leadership updated across growth, revenue, and partnership pipelines
Take on ad hoc tasks as the business requires — this role has no fixed script

What We're Looking For

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree (any stream); no prior full-time experience required
Strong communication, pitching, and relationship-building skills
Comfortable with cold outreach, follow-ups, and closing conversations
Numbers-oriented — comfortable building and reading simple trackers/dashboards
High ownership mindset — thrives in ambiguity and a fast-paced, target-driven environment
Genuine interest in startups, venture ecosystems, sales, and GTM/growth strategy
Basic proficiency with Excel/Sheets, PowerPoint/Slides; familiarity with CRM tools is a plus
Must be based in Bengaluru — full-time, in-office internship at BTM Layout for the entire 6-month duration

What You'll Gain

Direct, daily mentorship from the VP and founding team
Real ownership of growth, revenue, and partnership targets — not just observation
Front-row exposure to deal-making, fundraising, and GTM strategy across dozens of startups
A certificate of internship and potential pre-placement offer (PPO) based on performance
Access to Hightable's network of founders, investors, and industry experts
