Adventures in Syncopation is seeking unpaid interns for Spring and Summer 2024 to work closely with its team, which collectively has decades of experience as startup founders, executives, operators, advisors, and investors. Two types of internships are available: (1) Venture Scouts and (2) Communications Strategists.

Communications Strategists will help us engage and expand our community of entrepreneurs, performers and investors, through social media and other channels. In particular, Communications Strategists will help improve our reach and impact on platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X, in our blog and emails, and on our website, by creating and posting content, and engaging with current and prospective community members.
