Calling all Future AI Founders & Future VCs

Are you interested in starting an AI company or joining an AI VC down the road? The AI Furnace is looking for 2-3 All Star Strategy and Operations Interns to join us this spring to support the AI Hot 100 Summit 2025 — an exclusive, invite-only gathering bringing together AI executives from Fortune 500 companies and some of the hottest AI startup founders in the world.

We’re looking for 10x people with high agency, initiative and an ownership mindset with killer execution skills, willing to roll-up their sleeves and get shit done. The learning curve will be exponential and in just a short time period, you’ll get 10 years’ worth of contacts in just a few months.

The commitment will be a minimum of 20 hours per week - so do not apply if you have multiple projects going on.

We’re looking for a variety of interns with skills ranging from operations, research, outreach and sales, social media, software development, automations, database development and more.

We’re only accepting a few people to join us.

The select interns that come on, will get opportunities to:

• Meet and interact with some of the hottest AI founders + startups in the world who have raised anywhere between $4M-$50M

• Meet VC partners at Tier-1 VCs like a16z, Bessemer, Sequoia, and more

• A chance to liaise and interact with Fortune 500 AI Business Leaders, who manage the biggest AI budgets in the world

If you’re a hustler and willing to put in the work, apply now.
