Strategic Partner Management Internship

About the Organization

BrandContext is building the next generation of business intelligence for premium consumer brands, backed by Berkeley SkyDeck and led by ex-Google founders. Their flagship product, Atlas, organizes market data such as share of mind, share of visibility, share of distribution, pricing, and competitive benchmarking into decision-ready views. Atlas is built with UC Berkeley and counts Google as a paying customer, with active engagements at Sony and Samsung. They use a network of industry-insider partners, senior operators, and consultants for go-to-market and operate AI-first with autonomous AI agents.
