Who We Are
Speed NetworkNow is a fast-growing, innovation-driven startup based in London.
We create structured networking experiences for entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers, and professionals, while building a wider ecosystem around business growth, content, education, community, and technology.
As a startup grows, there is a lot happening behind the scenes — projects, meetings, events, communication, information, systems, and changing priorities all need to connect.
This internship is designed for someone who wants to gain practical exposure to how a startup is organised and how different parts of a business work together.

- Business operations

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.
Learn Directly From a Startup Environment

- How are projects organised when several things are happening at once?
- How do founders keep track of decisions and follow-ups?
- How do marketing, events, partnerships, and operations connect?
- How can technology and AI make everyday processes more efficient?

You’ll be able to ask questions, receive feedback, and gradually build confidence through practical exposure.
