About Matchmaker Matchmaker is an AI-powered dating app built for serious relationships, real verification, and no nonsense. We're setting a new standard in dating—every user is ID and income verified, every match is coordinated by an AI assistant, and post-date feedback is used to improve outcomes and remove bad actors. We’re launching with just 500 vetted users to ensure quality and build a transparent, feedback-driven relationship platform. Think: dating meets AI concierge, built for adults—not swipers.

The Opportunity We're looking for a multi-disciplinary intern to help us launch and scale Matchmaker this summer. You’ll work directly with the founder and developer on growth strategy, product testing, and community feedback loops. This is a rare chance to join a product at ground level—and directly impact its public launch. If you’re interested in startups, behavioral products, AI, crypto-based distribution, or just the business of dating, this role puts you in the middle of it all.

Responsibilities ● QA Testing: Help test core app flows, identify bugs, and suggest fixes before launch

● Growth & Distribution: Research, test, and optimize user acquisition strategies (online, crypto, partnerships, etc.) ● Customer Research: Conduct surveys, analyze behavior, and summarize insights to improve the product ● Beta Operations: Coordinate beta testers, track feedback, and iterate user flows ● Feedback Systems: Build out systems to facilitate user input, testimonials, and flagging/reporting ● Optional Dev Learning: Learn AI tools and assist in small product-side coding tasks if interested ● Fundraising Support: Assist with pitch prep, investor research, and BAXA & business development

Ideal Candidate ● Excited about AI, behavioral product design, and disrupting legacy industries ● Organized and self-directed, with strong communication skills ● Interested in growth marketing, product strategy, or startup operations ● Bonus: interest or background in crypto, social products, or dating tech ● Experience with Airtable, Notion, basic HTML/CSS, or Figma is a plus

What You’ll Get ● Hourly equity compensation (you earn ownership for every hour you contribute) ● Free Capital Factory membership (access to 100s of founders, investors, events, and workspace) ● Direct mentorship and references from founder (previous startup exits)

● Resume-worthy experience in AI, product, growth, and early-stage venture building ● Opportunity to convert into a paid, full-time role post-launch
