Future Startup Internships 2021

We have exciting internship opportunities for intellectually curious people who are passionate about business writing and working with entrepreneurs and companies across the technology and startup scene in Bangladesh. Applications are open now.

We are looking for enthusiastic, talented, and hardworking business writing interns to join us for the next 03-06 months at FS. Collaborating with the FS team, you'll be writing about and working with entrepreneurs and companies across the technology industry and startup scene in Bangladesh.

You'll be responsible for researching and writing articles, taking and transcribing interviews, and meeting FS clients for interviews and briefs.

You can work remotely from home. However, traveling for taking interviews, meeting clients, and attending meetings will be required. We are a small team, so your contribution will be both valued and necessary.

An opportunity to learn and build lifelong connections: You will be interacting and building valuable connections with CEOs/CXOs, entrepreneurs, business and tech professionals, startups, and makers of all kinds. You will learn to think critically, create powerful digital content and develop communication skills. Rigorous training and feedback are provided to help our interns improve. If you perform exceptionally well, you might just be considered for a higher position at Future Startup.

Recognition: All interns receive certificates of work experience after the successful completion of the internship. 

An opportunity to make a difference: Our stories are widely read and reach thousands of people on a daily basis and are changing lives. We are building a digital platform that enables people to take initiative by giving them access to information, knowledge, and connections for free resulting in entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, employment generation, and social change.
