The Role:
This internship is offered through Workshop Ventures, a venture studio that builds and invests in transformative companies. As an intern, you’ll be fully embedded at WorkHero, one of Workshop's portfolio companies. You’ll work directly with the founding team at WorkHero to identify and execute high-leverage projects across the go-to-market and service delivery functions.

WorkHero is building the AI-powered back office for the skilled trades.

Economic impact: We are helping local HVAC owners stay independent—growing their businesses and building meaningful wealth for themselves and their families.
-
Climate impact: We are accelerating climate goals by expanding the capacity of small HVAC companies who are responsible for installing the millions of heat pumps our planet needs.
-
Innovation impact: We are proving that you can blend human expertise and AI to create exciting roles for our employees and exceptional results for customers.
WorkHero is an early-stage company with exciting traction and strong support from angel investors and Workshop Ventures. Our advisors include Chad Laurans (founder of SimpliSafe, the $1B+ home security company) and Gerald Chertavian (founder of Year Up, a $200M per year non-profit).
