Go-to-Market (GTM) & Growth Intern

Neuron Edge AI

Part-Time | Internship | Startup / Physical AI & Robotics


About the Opportunity

Neuron Edge AI is building next-generation Physical AI and intelligent robotics solutions designed to help businesses automate repetitive work, improve operational visibility, and create smarter physical environments.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial Go-to-Market (GTM) & Growth Intern who wants hands-on experience helping an early-stage technology company take an innovative product to market.

This is not a traditional internship where you observe from the sidelines. You will work directly with the founding team on customer discovery, market research, sales enablement, digital marketing, content creation, prospect development, and pilot acquisition.

Our immediate GTM objective is simple:

Help Neuron Edge AI secure its first paid pilot and convert early pilots into long-term customers.


What You Will Work On

1. Target Market & Customer Research

  • Research target industries, initially focusing on retail and adjacent markets.
  • Identify companies that could benefit from Physical AI and robotic automation.
  • Research customer pain points related to labor, inventory visibility, repetitive work, operational efficiency, safety, and automation.
  • Build and maintain Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 target-account lists.
  • Identify relevant decision-makers, including operations, innovation, technology, automation, and executive leaders.

2. GTM & Sales Pipeline Support

  • Help maintain the 90-day GTM execution plan.
  • Build and maintain the prospect and opportunity pipeline.
  • Research prospective customers before outreach.
  • Assist with personalized outreach campaigns.
  • Track customer conversations, demos, follow-ups, proposals, and pilot opportunities.
  • Help prepare materials for customer discovery meetings.
  • Track weekly GTM metrics and identify where prospects are moving—or getting stuck—in the funnel.

3. Customer Discovery

  • Participate in selected customer discovery conversations.
  • Capture customer problems, objections, requirements, and buying signals.
  • Identify recurring themes across conversations.
  • Help translate customer feedback into GTM messaging and product priorities.
  • Research the customer's current processes and potential cost of the problem.

4. Pilot Development & Conversion

  • Support development of the NIA paid-pilot program.
  • Help prepare pilot proposals, business cases, ROI analyses, and customer presentations.
  • Track pilot success criteria and KPIs.
  • Help document pilot outcomes and customer results.
  • Assist with developing expansion business cases following successful pilots.

90-Day Internship Goals

During the first 90 days, the intern will help the founding team work toward:

  • 100 prioritized target accounts
  • 200–300 relevant customer contacts
  • Consistent weekly LinkedIn and digital content
  • A reusable NIA video/content library
  • 20+ warm introductions
  • 25–30 customer conversations
  • 8–10 product demonstrations
  • 5+ pilot proposals
  • At least one paid pilot
  • Conversion toward Neuron Edge AI's first commercial customer

These are team GTM objectives rather than individual sales quotas.


What We're Looking For

We are especially interested in students or recent graduates studying:

  • Business
  • Marketing
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Communications
  • MBA
  • Engineering
  • Computer Science
  • Data/AI
  • Product Management
  • Technology Management

You do not need to be a robotics expert.

We care more about someone who is:

  • Curious
  • Resourceful
  • Organized
  • Comfortable communicating with people
  • Interested in startups and entrepreneurship
  • Able to research companies and industries independently
  • Comfortable using LinkedIn and digital tools
  • A strong writer and communicator
  • Interested in AI, robotics, automation, or emerging technology
  • Willing to experiment, learn, and iterate quickly

Experience with LinkedIn, Canva, PowerPoint, Excel/Google Sheets, or sales prospecting tools is helpful but not required.


What You Will Learn

This internship is designed to provide hands-on exposure to building the commercial side of an early-stage deep-tech company.

You will learn how to:

Take technology from product to market.

You will gain experience with:

  • Go-to-market strategy
  • Customer segmentation
  • Ideal Customer Profile development
  • B2B customer discovery
  • Enterprise sales
  • Sales pipeline management
  • Product positioning
  • Startup marketing
  • LinkedIn thought leadership
  • Video/product storytelling
  • Sales enablement
  • Pilot development
  • ROI/business-case development
  • Customer conversion
  • Founder-led selling
  • Physical AI and robotics commercialization

Most importantly, you will see how an early-stage technology company attempts to move from:

Technology → Customer Problem → Pilot → Revenue → Scale


Working With the Founding Team

The intern will work closely with Neuron Edge AI's leadership and technical teams.

We want the internship to include mentorship and exposure to both the business and technology sides of building a deep-tech company, rather than limiting the intern to administrative or lead-generation work.

Where appropriate, the intern may participate in:

  • Product strategy discussions
  • GTM planning
  • Customer meetings
  • Product demonstrations
  • Pilot planning
  • Marketing strategy
  • Founder brainstorming sessions

Time Commitment

Approximately 10–15 hours per week, with flexibility around academic schedules.

The internship can be structured around specific projects and 30-, 60-, and 90-day milestones.


Compensation

Neuron Edge AI is currently an early-stage startup and does not yet have funding allocated for this internship.

Accordingly, this opportunity is currently being considered as an unpaid, learning-focused internship, subject to applicable legal and academic requirements.

Where appropriate, we are open to working with a student's university to structure the internship for academic credit.

As the company grows and funding becomes available, opportunities for future paid internships or employment may be considered based on company needs, funding, and individual performance. No future employment or compensation is guaranteed.


Who Would Thrive Here?

This opportunity is best suited for someone who sees an early-stage startup and thinks:

"Give me a problem. I'll figure out how to solve it."

If you want to learn how AI and robotics companies actually find customers, develop markets, create demand, build pilots, and turn emerging technology into a business, we'd love to hear from you.


To Apply

Please send:

  • Your resume
  • LinkedIn profile, if available
  • A short note explaining why Physical AI, robotics, startups, or GTM interests you
  • One example of a company, project, campaign, or technology that you think has been marketed exceptionally well—and why
