About the Role

YourNest Venture Capital is seeking a hands-on builder for a two-month internship to finalize and launch the Founder Resource Portal for their portfolio founders.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the Analyst Back End (used by YourNest analysts and associates to manage founder accounts, handle requests, and track engagement).
• Own the CMS (used by the YourNest team to add, edit, tag, and publish resources without touching code).
• Own the Database (powering all three platforms with founder, company, resource, request, access, and usage data).
• Build, Fix & Launch:
• Read the codebase, document its functionality, and fix any fragile elements in the alpha.
• Review and tighten the database schema, ensuring data, roles, and access rules are robust and founder data remains private.
• Improve the founder front-end, including navigation, search, request flows, and mobile usability.
• Build out the analyst back-end to enable the team to manage founders, requests, and access independently.
• Make the CMS user-friendly for associates to publish and update resources without assistance, and load content clusters.
• Run pilot testing with a group of founders and analysts, incorporating their feedback into fixes.
• Produce clean documentation for handover to the next owner.

• KPI: Release-ready portal, handover documentation, and a walkthrough by the end of week 8.
