2b lead generation: startup internship program #1

We just opened 2 FREE seats for a Lead Gen Intern.

FREE = costs you nothing, pays you in skills, tools, and portfolio – not cash.
If you're still in school, stop reading. We need recent graduates, not current students. This role requires professional maturity to represent us to real prospects and gather requirements from stakeholders.

Still here? Good.

Most lead gen training teaches you to blast 10,000 emails and pray for replies.
Ours teaches you to find the right 50 accounts and actually get meetings.

Here's what's broken about lead gen:

Companies buy massive contact databases. Sales teams send thousands of generic messages. Buyers ignore them. SDRs burn out. Budgets vanish.
Everyone's doing "more volume" when the answer is "better targeting."

So we asked ourselves:

What if we trained lead gen professionals who understand that precision beats spray-and-pray?
Not more emails. Not more automation. Not more "touches."
But research. Targeting. Relevance.
The kind of person who gets excited reading a company's blog to understand what keeps their CEO up at night. Who sees LinkedIn as detective work, not a database. Who can write a message that sounds like human-to-human, not spam-bot-to-inbox.

The Timeline:

→ Weeks 1-2: You're learning our systems, understanding our ICP, getting onboarded

→ Weeks 3-4: Trial period – you're experimenting with real campaigns, we're both deciding if this fits

→ Months 2-6: You're owning campaigns, optimizing based on data, building systems that work

The structure is simple:
Targeting (40%): Build account lists using our precision targeting platform. Research decision makers deeply. Find the accounts that actually matter.

Experimentation (30%): Test outreach across LinkedIn and email. Try different hooks. Learn what gets responses vs what gets ignored.

Optimization (30%): Track what works. Kill what doesn't. Double down on winners. Turn insights into repeatable processes.

What you'll actually do:
Build targeted account lists (using real intent data, not spray-and-pray databases)
Research decision makers (LinkedIn, company sites, understanding their actual business challenges – this is detective work, not data entry)
Write personalized outreach (we use Claude AI as your research assistant, but you're the strategist crafting the message)
Run multi-channel campaigns (LinkedIn + email, learn what works where)
Book qualified meetings (meetings people actually show up to)
Track everything (acceptance rates, reply rates, show rates – optimize relentlessly)
Document what works (so others can learn from your wins)

Fair warning:
This isn't for everyone.

If you're still a student → We need recent graduates with professional maturity
If you need income now → This is unpaid (skills and portfolio, not salary)
If you want traditional sales training → We don't do scripts, quotas, or "smile and dial"
If you think "more emails = more success" → You'll hate our approach
If AI scares you or you think it'll replace you → We use Claude daily, it's a tool not a threat
If you need daily hand-holding → We give structure and tools, but you own your work
If you want a predictable 6-month plan → Startups don't work that way, experiments fail, things change

But if you're the type who:

Just graduated and wants to learn modern B2B lead gen (not outdated spray-and-pray tactics)
Gets genuinely curious about companies (you actually enjoy reading their blogs, understanding their business model, figuring out their challenges)
Can write like a human (not a copywriter, just someone who sounds real in a message)
Believes quality beats quantity (50 perfect accounts > 10,000 random emails)
Wants to learn AI tools the right way (as leverage, not replacement)
Likes autonomy and hates wasted effort (you'd rather spend 2 hours finding the right person than 2 minutes blasting 1,000 wrong ones)

Then we should talk.
Because here's what we believe:

0% of great companies scale with spray-and-pray.
0% of great meetings come from generic outreach.
100% of effective lead gen is about relevance, not volume.

What happens after 6 months?
You complete the internship program and join our alumni network.
Top performers get considered for our Outbound Marketer position (paid, equity, real role).
Either way, you leave with a portfolio, skills that 99% of salespeople don't have, and a network that matters.

The same precision that drives our product drives how we hire.
No generic recruiting.
No "thanks for applying" auto-rejects.
Just 1 seat for someone who actually did their research.
Ready to learn lead gen that actually works?
Apply: Record a 1-minute video (phone quality is fine) explaining:

Why lead gen at a B2B startup?
One company you'd target for us and why
One message you'd send to their decision maker

P.S. — Still reading? Good. That means you do your research. Now go explore Unstuck Engine, check Ivan's LinkedIn, read our Growth Book, and record that video. We want people who understand that precision starts with how you apply, not just how you work.
