Job description

AscentDevs is a product-focused technology partner that helps startups and growth-stage founders turn ideas into market-ready products. We build production-grade mobile apps, web platforms, AI-powered systems, internal tools, and automation pipelines. We work lean: fast iteration, rapid MVPs (2?6 weeks), and products engineered to scale and impress investors. We partner with ambitious founders to solve real problems and ship digital experiences that drive measurable impact.

The role This is your chance to get in early and own a function. As our Business Development Intern, you'll work directly with the founder to drive how AscentDevs finds and wins clients. You won't be handed busywork - you'll help shape our outreach, learn B2B tech sales from the ground up, and have a real, visible impact on the company's growth from day one.

What you'll do

• Research target markets and build lists of high-fit potential clients (startups, founders, SMBs)
• Run personalized outreach to start conversations
• Qualify leads and book meetings
• Help refine our positioning, messaging, and sales process as we grow
• Manage leads and relationships through our CRM and outreach tools

Requirements

• Sharp written communication: You can write a message a busy founder actually wants to reply to
• Genuinely curious about startups, technology, and AI
• Proactive and detail-oriented: You take ownership and don't wait to be told what to do
• Bonus: any experience in sales, lead generation, outreach, or freelancing, and familiarity with CRM/outreach tools (Sales Navigator, Apollo, HubSpot, etc.)
• Currently pursuing or holding a degree in Business, Marketing, Communication, or a related field is a plus, but hunger and ability matter more than credentials

Benefits

• Work closely with the founder: Learn how an early-stage tech company actually grows
• Real ownership: Your ideas ship, and your work directly moves the business
• Uncapped upside: Stipend + performance-based incentives, with no ceiling on what you can earn from results
• Path to full-time: Top performers grow into a permanent BD role as we scale
• Global exposure: Work with founders and clients across markets
• Flexible, fully remote: Work on your own schedule, judged on output not hours
