Ground Zero Team — Market Discovery Interns

Tracks: Research/PM • Growth/Acquisition • Data • Prototyper/No-Code

Why this team exists

We validate new markets fast. Purpose: prove there’s a market or marketing opportunity through rapid tests—fail fast, learn faster.

• Map problems & segments; run user/expert interviews
• Design quick experiments (landing pages, ads, outreach, concierge tests)
• Launch, measure, and iterate in days, not weeks
• Analyze early signals (CTR, CVR, replies, waitlist sign-ups, demo requests)
• Log hypotheses, results, and recommendations: proceed / pivot / kill
• Research & analysis: Investigate tools, vendors, competitors, markets; turn data into insights and recommendations.
• Data work: Build simple dashboards, analyze customer/marketing/business trends, and support basic data governance.

• Love discovery, ambiguity, and building from zero
• Communicate clearly; turn vague ideas into small, testable plans
• Are data-curious (basic metrics, UTMs, Sheets) and resourceful
• Can commit to a fast cadence

• Evidence-driven market validation from discovery → trial → learning
• Designing cheap tests that answer big questions
• Reading early demand signals and making go/no-go calls
