Marketing & Operations Intern (Summer 2025)
WHAT IS VENTURE LANE?
Venture Lane is Boston’s premier startup hub located in the heart of downtown. We curate a community of Boston’s leading B2B tech startups and help them grow!
Venture Lane is comprised of three unique subsets: Studio, Space, and Connex.
- Venture Lane Studio is a 3-month, bespoke Traction Studio bringing together cohorts of 2-4 companies on a rolling basis to nail their Go-to-Market strategy, solidify efficient and effective company operating systems, and fundraise successfully. We have a
founder-first, hands on approach that allows us to impact each company in a meaningful and measurable way. - Venture Lane Space (Co-working) is an invite-only shared workspace for Boston’s best B2B tech startups. We have 10,000 sq feet of stylish ‘hygge’ space, 50+ member companies, and unlimited espresso!
- Venture Lane Connex is Boston’s highest quality network of 2,000+ Boston based founders, mentors, and investors. Throw in our weekly mentor-driven programming, monthly socials, exclusive Slack channel, and other game changing startup resources, and you’ve got Boston’s best community for B2B startups!
WHAT IS THE ROLE?
As the Marketing and Operations Intern, you will help drive success in every subset under the Venture Lane umbrella.
- In the Venture Lane Studio, you will help support our Studio teams get acclimated to the Venture Lane space as well as work to fully integrate these founders and teams into the larger Venture Lane community.
- In the Venture Lane Space (Co-working), you will spearhead the customer experience and bring positive vibes to the front of house – managing space operations and helping members and guests alike feel warm & welcome.
- With Venture Lane Connex, you will help Venture Lane maintain a rip-roaring digital presence by contributing to our social media accounts, community newsletters, Slack, and other channels. As in-person networking & social events safely come back into the fold, we’ll look to you for input on venue selection, help sending out invitations, and presence to assist with day-of operations. We throw the best social events in town!
*** The role requires in-office presence at least 3 days a week, so please keep that in mind when applying.***
