Marketing & Operations Intern (Summer 2026)

WHAT IS VENTURE LANE?
Venture Lane is a founder-first startup hub in downtown Boston focused on helping early-stage B2B tech companies move faster across customers, capital, and product.

We bring together a curated community of high-potential founders, operators, and investors, paired with hands-on programming designed to drive real traction.

Venture Lane operates across three core pillars: Studio, Space, and Connex.

• Venture Lane Studio is a hands-on traction program working with a small number of early stage B2B tech companies at a time to accelerate go-to-market execution, build repeatable systems, and prepare for scale.
• Venture Lane Space (Co-working) is an invite-only workspace and curated community of 180+ early-stage B2B tech founders. Built for focus and momentum, with member-only access to events, office hours, and hands-on support.
• Venture Lane Connex is a curated network of 3,000+ founders, operators, mentors, and investors, activated through curated monthly socials, impact-driven programming, an active Slack channel, and a curated set of startup resources. Connex is built to help founders move faster with the right people and opportunities, across GTM, customers, capital, and talent.
