Who Are We
Speed NetworkNow is a fast-growing innovation-driven startup based in London. We specialise in creating powerful structured networking experiences for entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers, and professionals who want to make high-impact connections fast.
We believe networking shouldn’t be random or awkward. That’s why our speed networking events are engineered to be purposeful, efficient, and measurable. In just 60 minutes, participants can connect with 30+ relevant professionals, pitch their ideas, and discover new clients, collaborators, or business opportunities.
But we’re more than just events.
We’re also building a business ecosystem combining:
- Content & Brand Building: Podcasts, social media, video content, and marketing campaigns that fuel visibility and growth.
- Data-Driven Matchmaking: Intelligent systems that help people meet the right contacts based on real goals and shared interests.
- Business Strategy & Education: Workshops, training, and resources to help entrepreneurs grow their skills and confidence.
We're here to disrupt traditional networking, make meaningful connections scalable, and give people the tools they need to grow personally and professionally, all while building a global platform for collaboration.
What Does This Entail
This internship is designed to give you real-world, hands-on experience in a startup environment where your ideas, input, and contributions genuinely matter. You won’t be sitting on the sidelines watching; you’ll be learning by doing across live projects, strategic campaigns, and community initiatives that are directly tied to the company’s growth.
You’ll have the chance to:
- Work across multiple departments — from marketing and business development to event planning and analytics.
- Take ownership of creative campaigns, research projects, or event logistics based on your interests.
- Receive weekly feedback and mentorship to help you develop your strengths and build your confidence.
- Learn the inner workings of a startup and contribute to a team that values collaboration, experimentation, and adaptability.
- Build a portfolio of real results you can show to future employers, clients, or partners.
This is not a passive placement. It’s a chance to develop your skills in a live environment, try new things, and gain insight into how a business grows from the inside out.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
