However, as we grow and explore this new business direction, we expect funding to influence the compensation of this role. The intern will be well positioned for future opportunities at the company (part-time, full-time or contract based on funding). We will also work with you to craft your experience as an intern and provide you with real-world experience that can be added to your portfolio/resume. If you want to use this as a stepping stone as a kickstart to your portfolio/resume, we would be happy to serve as referrals and write recommendation letters!
