We are HybridHELIX Consulting. We are a startup looking to make a difference. We hope to grow as a marketing consultancy and eventually into a B-Corp incubator of B-Corps that have the power to combat climate change, homelessness, and animal welfare (& more). We never received appropriate relief when the pandemic started beyond unemployment. This was due to starting operations on 9/2019 and not being old enough to qualify for the EDIL or PPP program. Our first client choices of targeting Gyms did not help either.

Offer Details

We are offering two distinct offers for our student interns to consider.

Project Based Internships

Project based internships usually have a specific project with a deliverable at the end. Whether you have a project based or functional/experience-based internship is determined by your school. These internships will have an outline for what is expected from the project along with a timeframe that your school helps enforce & guide. In these internships you are expected to use our calendly links to schedule meetings and ask questions of our team, and then develop a deliverable independent of the business.

There are three projects we have available within our organization as a project-based internship. Details below.

Purchasing Power System + Above Limit Voting Process (Project: OPS-292)

Our company is based on the concept of employee owners. Meaning every team member of our team is also an owner. We would like to establish a basic guideline for purchasing powers allowing our team to have discretionary spend they can use each month. When projects or things they want to spend money on go over their preset amounts/conditions/categories, we want to establish a process to vote and record the results to approve larger purchases. The deliverables on this project include documentation we can use to start the foundation of the processes, a mindmap/decision making map of how the structure will work, and a final presentation and handoff to the company.

Accounting Process & System Optimization for Scaling (Project: OPS-318)

Our infrastructure for billing and payments was initially designed by our founder to handle the circumstances we faced as a small startup. Unfortunately, the design has many limitations, including not automatically categorizing or importing transactions from several locations. Now that we've processed enough money through our payment processors, some of our original limitations no longer exist either - which means we need our accounting processes reviewed for opportunities to improve. Our goal with this project is to make our accounting as easy to understand as possible.

Per Project Payout System for Freelancers & Founding Team (Project: OPS-467)

The blue sky of this project is a complete process and system utilizing features built into ClickUp, QuickBooks, and RemoteTeam that will help us post available projects in the business, how much we can pay to get it done, a process & limits to help outsource, and the structure to ensure people are paid upon project completion.

Functional/Experience Internships

Functional/experience internships are for students who are in an internship program that specifies a specific number of hours to work with a company per week for class credit and experience. These internships offered through HybridHELIX are unpaid at the moment, but in exchange we do offer a “what you put in is what you get” experience. You choose your schedule and time commitment alongside your school, and from there we’ll work to give you a hands on experience in our startup for the period of time you have chosen.

We need someone who loves numbers, spreadsheets, and accounting software (we use Quickbooks Online) to help us catch up our books and write down processes to make it easier going forward in our company wiki. This position will give you an invaluable experience helping to manage a small startup company on a bootstrap budget.

Andrew Cordova-Andrews will be considered your supervisor; however, Luis and Reina have just as much authority in the business and thus will be available to support you with anything. Andrew will meet with each team and/or individual student on a weekly basis to see how you are doing, what questions we can answer, and guide your career development.

Background of Andrew Cordova-Andrews

Andrew has over 13 years of professional customer service experience where, as a supervisor, he led teams of up to 60 people to success in their career development and team goals. He enjoys video games (like Apex Legends & Eve Online), his pets (4 cats but he loves dogs too), and his passion of building HybridHELIX to make a difference in the world. People who have worked on his team have described him as being the best supervisor they’ve had. His approach to coaching and career development focuses on the strengths of the individual.
