About the Ventures

This internship supports two fast‑growing entrepreneurial projects led by a NYC‑based founder:

Boardsports Fitness

A first‑of‑its‑kind NYC fitness concept designed for surfers, skateboarders, and snowboarders. Built on 20+ years of coaching experience and proprietary teaching methods, the gym will offer sport‑specific training, beginner‑to‑advanced instruction, and group classes inspired by board‑sport movement. A full business plan and investor pitch deck are complete.

Film Production

A producer specializing in horror, sci‑fi, and fantasy with a feature film ready for investment and development.

This internship offers rare exposure to two creative, high‑energy industries at once.

Role Overview
