About Echo
Echo is building an all-in-one platform that lets people and businesses create, launch and grow their own AI assistants.
We are fully bootstrapped and have already:
- Launched our iOS app

We are looking for an ambitious student who wants practical experience in startup sales, customer research, outreach and partnerships.
What you will do
You will work directly with Echo’s co-founders to help identify and reach potential customers.
Your work will include:
- Researching businesses and professionals that could benefit from Echo
- Building focused prospect lists and identifying relevant decision-makers
- Understanding each prospect’s business and possible Echo use case
- Writing personalised LinkedIn and email outreach
- Supporting follow-ups, product demonstrations and early sales conversations
- Tracking prospects, replies and next actions
- Recording common questions, objections and customer feedback
- Helping improve Echo’s messaging, sales materials and outreach process
- Researching partnership and community opportunities
- Sharing a short weekly summary of activity, responses and lessons
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Potential audiences may include consultants, agencies, creators, coaches, property professionals, hospitality businesses, fitness and wellness companies and other service businesses handling frequent enquiries or bookings.
We do not want generic mass outreach. Messages should show a clear understanding of the prospect and why Echo could be relevant.
Echo Ambassador Programme
Alongside the internship, you will be invited to join the Echo Ambassador Programme under a separate agreement.
As an Ambassador, you can:
- Introduce Echo to suitable businesses and professionals
- Use your personal referral link
- Earn commission when an eligible referral becomes a paying customer
- Test Echo’s Ambassador onboarding, tracking and resources
- Give first-hand feedback on how the programme can be improved
Ambassador activity is separate from the unpaid internship. It has no fixed hours or mandatory targets and is governed by separate terms covering commission, attribution and payments.
Who we are looking for
This could suit a student studying business, marketing, sales, entrepreneurship, management or a related subject.
You should:
- Be interested in AI, startups and business growth
- Enjoy researching companies and understanding their needs
- Communicate confidently and professionally
- Be able to personalise outreach
- Be organised with follow-ups and records
- Show initiative and learn quickly
- Be comfortable receiving feedback

- The opportunity to earn commission through separate Ambassador activity
- Portfolio and interview experience, subject to confidentiality
- A professional reference following successful completion
- Reimbursement of reasonable expenses agreed in advance
This internship does not guarantee future employment.
Important eligibility requirement
This unpaid internship is only available to students who are required to complete an internship or work placement as part of a UK-based further- or higher-education course.

People who are not eligible for the internship may still apply separately to the Echo Ambassador Programme.
How to apply
Please include:
- Your CV or LinkedIn profile
- Your university, course and confirmation that the internship is course-required
- A short explanation of why Echo interests you
- An example of a time you showed initiative or created an opportunity
- The type of customer Echo should approach first and why
- A short example of how you would introduce Echo to that customer
