Job description

and the job listing Expires on September 15, 2026

TBD Investors is an operator-led private equity firm that invests its own capital in exceptional entrepreneurs and works closely with them to build enduring businesses. Our portfolio spans healthcare, business services, software, and other industries.

Our portfolio companies are often founder-led or searcher-led businesses where interns can have a real impact. This is not a “sit in the corner and observe” internship. We are looking for people who want to help build companies.

To learn more about TBD Investors and our portfolio companies, candidates are encouraged to visit our LinkedIn page and website .

We are looking for an AI & Data Analytics Intern to help our portfolio companies identify and implement practical ways to use AI. This is not a research-only role. You will work directly with company leaders to understand real business problems, analyze data, develop solutions, and help put those solutions into practice.

What You’ll Do

Work with portfolio company leaders to identify high-impact opportunities for AI and automation

Analyze operational, financial, customer, and marketing data to uncover actionable insights

Build dashboards, reporting tools, and lightweight AI-powered applications

Automate repetitive workflows using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Zapier, Make, or n8n

Explore use cases including customer service, revenue-cycle management, marketing, recruiting, scheduling, and internal reporting

Help companies organize and prepare their data for broader AI adoption

Evaluate new AI tools and recommend where they can create measurable value

Document solutions and train portfolio company teams to use them

Share lessons across the portfolio so successful ideas can be replicated

What We’re Looking For

Current undergraduate or graduate student studying computer science, data science, engineering, statistics, economics, or a related field

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Experience working with data using Python, SQL, Excel, or similar tools

Familiarity with large language models, APIs, workflow automation, or business intelligence platforms

Ability to translate technical concepts into clear, practical recommendations

Curiosity about how businesses operate and where technology can make them better

Comfortable working independently in an entrepreneurial, fast-moving environment

Strong communication skills and a bias toward action

You do not need to be an expert in every technology. We care more about curiosity, judgment, resourcefulness, and the ability to turn an idea into something people will actually use.

What Makes This Role Different

You will have the opportunity to work across multiple businesses and industries rather than focusing on a single narrow project. You will see firsthand how companies operate, work directly with senior leaders, and build solutions with visible, measurable impact.

The best ideas may be deployed across several portfolio companies, giving you an unusual opportunity to help shape how growing businesses adopt AI.
