In3 Internship / Apprenticeship Program – now hiring

Learn while working as a remote intern/apprentice at In3 Capital Group

Announcement Date:  30 September 2024

Start Date:  On or after 1 November 2024, for the Winter season; to be discussed.

Internship Duration:  3 months, minimum.

Open Positions:  We are currently accepting applications for either of three Tracks, or by combining elements of them:

Track 1: Business Development Intern — Work directly with senior executives to use available resources and subscriptions to research and update contact records, private Family Offices, impact foundations, diverse asset owners, boutique venture capital and private lenders, adding them to an existing CRM subscription, for a growing book of opportunities in impact finance and guarantees globally.

Track 2:  Info Tech / Marketing / Media / Operations — in support of In3’s sales and marketing operations team, work on a set of diverse projects (will tailor to the hired candidate) to improve incoming lead generation and systems integration, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and a series of short, educational “on demand” videos, … or other areas as mutually agreed.

Track 3: Client Research & Proposal Development — based on specific client engagements, In3 often takes on complex challenges with innovative structures, cutting-edge solutions (such as “first of a kind” solutions to climate change), or impact measures and management (IMM) that go well beyond financial fundamentals.  Intern may be asked to assist with research or related analytical work that helps build the client’s odds of success with gaining sponsorship or alternative funding to launch their first projects.  There are also third-party guarantors for CAP funding called “sponsors” that deserve research and analysis.

Internships can be a mix of these, or leverage and apply special talents for a tailored experience of investment banking services and impact investing.  Some of the above tracks require a lot of dedication to go deep enough to add value, including but not limited to Measurement & Management (IMM relies on data analytics), IT/media tools such as WordPress and/or HTML, financial modeling tools that rationalize the business logic for forecasting, risk mitigation, and/or client relationship and consulting/communication skills.  Note any areas of particular interest.

Candidates with presentation skills or audio/video aptitude may be invited to participate in developing a new library of short educational videos, for example.

About this internship / apprenticeship — working with In3 Capital Partners

Working with In3, you will collaborate and assist world-class entrepreneurs and executives in the process of bringing forth game-changing “impact” projects, startups and innovations. You will learn important general and domain-specific skills for “making a difference,” building powerful leadership skills, living with integrity and furthering your career. You will step ahead of the marketplace, slightly, and join a community of practice of thought leadership but also practical engagement with solving some of the more compelling issues of our times, including mitigation climate change, food/energy/water security and many others.

Along the way, you may develop a personal manifesto—a clear roadmap of what you will be doing with your career in years to come. You will get to design your future during this program, as you learn to be even more dynamic, powerful, and entrepreneurial.

You can join and leave the internship program at any time assuming a minimum of 2-3 months commitment and continued opportunities to contribute and learn. This internship is designed as an educational platform and skill accelerator.  Those who demonstrate their ability to get results will be invited to continue, or may become part of an ever-expanding base of diverse professionals that service In3 clients as independent contractors.

This program is open to students or graduates of all backgrounds, though the more “advanced” the better.  The most important thing is a self-motivated work ethic and desire to learn. There will be no shortage of real world challenges working in this sector (private capital, financial services, business/entrepreneurship) as many of these industries are experiencing unprecedented demand and growth, with innovation across the board — from fintech to agtech to cleantech, for “triple bottom line” results.

In3 uses a proven program for funding “impact” projects that is possibly unique in the marketplace, and certainly at the forefront of innovation, helping to build a sustainable future.

These and other changes (the post-COVID “new abnormal”, carbon credits, tax equities, supply chain disruptions, inflation/deflation and more) require that we reinvent ourselves, constantly learn and improve, and bring our “A game” every day.  But it also provides vast opportunities for those with the agility, drive and focus to discern what matters from all the superficial hype and noise.

Disciplines include any of the following, or in combination, as finance is inherently multidisciplinary, so we expect some degree of “creative fit” to your unique strengths.  All of these disciplines have their place in this important work:

• Finance and Accounting (financial management. Impact investment, loan origination, private equities, fundraising, financial modeling, valuations)
• Business Operations (business management, sales, marketing, business development, negotiations, event management, people management, scheduling, leadership training)
• Applied Engineering, Owner’s Engineering, Software Systems Architecture (AI and web programming, user interface / customer experience, writing specifications, analytics)
• Media, Design, Marketing and Story Telling (photography, film making, writing, video editing, illustrations, game design, and graphics)
• Mentoring & Coaching / Teaching & Training (learning to help others at work or as part of teamwork or in your community with their moods, ambitions, breakdown, habits, and life)
• General / Business Administration (if you have not decided on a particular discipline, you can join the program in the Open Interest track. You will work and learn across disciplines.)

Testimonial from a recent intern (9/5/24):

I’m super thankful for the chance to intern at In3. Daniel’s been awesome—his support, patience, and sense of humor made these three months fly by. When I first started, I didn’t know anything about project finance and was kind of nervous about jumping into something so complex, but I ended up learning a ton. Daniel’s guidance and getting to sit in on some affiliate meetings really gave me a peek into the finance world. I’m especially grateful for the intro to impact investing and lead sourcing, which were totally new to me. It’s cool to think about how I went from knowing almost nothing to actually using different tools to find info and connect with the right people. Overall, these three months were not just fun, but I picked up so many valuable lessons that I’ll definitely carry with me moving forward.

Ideal Intern Character Traits:  If you thrive on new experiences, are very effective at both written and verbal communication, detail-oriented, have energy and drive, don’t give up easily, self-directed (attempt to find solutions on your own before asking for help), and see a future where business plays an important role as part of how we will build a sustainable world, then this program is for you!

At this time, all internships are conducted via 1:1 and group meetings by Zoom. However, exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis. To qualify for this program, you must have an open mind, a desire to make a difference and a passion for life-long learning.
