Start-Up
Project Content
Naviri is the first decision intelligence platform designed for startups. Founders use Naviri to build their startup's "digital twin", capturing core business components such as customer segments, financial models, go-to-market strategies, and competitor insights, in a knowledge graph that evolves as the company grows. This rich, structured data foundation powers Naviri's AI to deliver contextual analysis that validates or discredits assumptions, flags risks before they become fatal, and uncovers hidden growth opportunities with far greater accuracy than generic tools. Instead of relying on gut feelings or scattered templates, founders gain a real-time, holistic view of their business, clear next steps, and investor-ready assets like a pitch deck or data room that update automatically.

The result: faster, evidence-based decisions, less wasted time, and dramatically higher odds of scaling, securing funding, and building a successful startup.
Tasks for Interns
The intern will work within our software team in either back-end, front-end, testing and dev ops, or AI (though AI positions are few).
The tasks will put the intern in touch with the realities of working in a start-up and with an actual live product. What tasks the intern will complete will depend on the professional interests of the intern. We've worked like this in the past, and we found that finding tasks that align the company and the intern's professional goals works best for motivation. 
Regardless of what the tasks are, the intern will be expected to maintain their assigned project with a high degree of ownership for about 70% of their time, while the other 30% will be dedicated to helping the other tech team members on whatever is necessary for that sprint.
