INNOVATION INTERN (Please Note Your Interest Area)

Innovation Intern (Please Note Your Interest Area)

We are gearing up for Goaloop's next phase of growth, beyond beta, and are seeking up to four (4) Innovation Interns specializing/majoring in particular areas (listed below) to become important members of our growing team. The Innovation Interns will collaborate with company leaders and fellow interns to launch goals to help solve some of our most vexing socio-economic challenges (see examples at Goaloop.com and Goaloop,org), while gaining valuable experience and developing professional skills. You will be encouraged to participate in brainstorming sessions, contribute your ideas, and there will also be opportunities to lead projects.

Goaloop interns have gone onto rewarding careers at Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, Bloomberg, S&P Global, and elsewhere, including Goaloop! Interns at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-grad levels are important members of our team and culture, and have joined us from colleges across the country, including from multiple schools within Columbia University, Rutgers, Cornell Engineering, Cornell’s Dyson School of Business, Tufts, Fordham Law School, University at Buffalo, University of Michigan, Pacific Lutheran University, UCLA, Drexel University, Middlebury College, and Barnard College.

Goaloop is a patent pending tech platform that helps you reach our goals, and connects the world through goals. Connecting goals across sectors, Goaloop is an interdisciplinary platform, and our openings are also therefore interdisciplinary in nature.

Goaloop has been called "fun," "innovative,” "a new model for supply-and-demand," and "revolutionary."

Many on our team have connections to Columbia University. The Yale Law School's Entrepreneurship & Innovation Clinic invited us to be a client before the pandemic.

We are seeking Innovation Interns specializing in the following areas:

Innovation Intern Specializing in Climate Science

Innovation Intern Specializing in Social Causes

Innovation Intern Specializing in Public Health

Innovation Intern Specializing in Public Service/Public Policy/Political Science

Innovation Intern Specializing in Health Science/Physical Fitness

[If your area of interest is not listed here, we welcome your initiative and creativity to state how it is relevant to what we're building.]

Thank you for your interest in Goaloop!

What we're building: Got a goal? Goaloop it! State your goal on Goaloop, and people and resources appear to help you achieve it. Goaloop helps you reach your goals, and connects the world through goals. A goal to learn the guitar matches the goal to teach guitar (and sell guitars, and make guitars). Connecting goals, we can achieve anything together!

Most social networks connect the world based on 'who', Goaloop connects the world based on 'what' -- what your goals are. Our model expands social circles, creating more opportunities in work and life for everyone, while skyrocketing collaboration and innovation.

We are a small, growing team, located close to Columbia University's main campus in New York City. We welcome great candidates near and far; working remotely is an option -- we come together for team meetings, in person and online, depending on your location.
