GTM Intern

Day0 Labs builds products from zero, which means go-to-market thinking starts long before a public launch. As a GTM Intern, you’ll learn how product, research, marketing, community, and business strategy come together. You may work around products such as CreatorBAE and UnfoldWin while learning how an early-stage California technology company takes a product from early validation to market.

About The Role

This is a learning-focused internship. You’ll participate alongside the team with mentorship, guidance, and regular feedback.

What you’ll learn

• Positioning & messaging
  Learn How We Answer Fundamental Questions
  • What does this product do?
  • Who is it for?
  • Why should they care?
  • How should we talk about it?
  You’ll explore value propositions, messaging, product narratives, audience-specific communication, and positioning.
• Audience research
  Learn how we identify and understand potential users. You’ll explore user behaviors, motivations, needs, pain points, adoption barriers, and early-user profiles.
• Market & competitor research
  Understand How Teams Study
  • competitors
  • adjacent products
  • emerging categories
  • industry trends
  • customer behavior
  • changing technology
  The goal is not simply to create competitor lists, but to understand what the market is telling us.
• Launch strategy
  Learn What Happens Around An Early Product Launch, Including
  • beta programs
  • early-access launches
  • focus groups
  • community introductions
  • launch messaging
  • launch events
  • feedback collection
  • post-launch learning
• Product journeys
  Learn How People Move Through Discover→Understand→Try→Activate→Return→Recommend. You’ll learn to identify opportunities and friction throughout that journey.
• Growth insights
  Gain Exposure To Early-stage Metrics Such As
  • Acquisition
  • Activation
  • Conversion
  • Engagement
  • Retention
  You’ll also learn why qualitative feedback can be just as valuable as numbers during early product development.

What you’ll participate in

Depending on what Day0 Labs is working on during your internship, you may:

• join selected GTM and product discussions
• research markets and emerging trends
• study relevant audience segments
• analyze competitor positioning
• participate in product focus groups
• organize user and market research findings
• help analyze feedback from early users
• practice developing positioning and messaging
• map customer journeys
• study acquisition and activation funnels
• contribute ideas for product launches
• participate in launch retrospectives
• compare different GTM approaches
• organize learnings from experiments
• present observations and recommendations to the team

You won’t be expected to independently own revenue targets, sales quotas, advertising budgets, or company-critical launches.

What you’ll leave with

You should finish the internship with a stronger understanding of:

• Product positioning
• Audience research
• Market research
• GTM strategy
• Launch planning
• Product funnels
• Growth metrics
• Early-stage experimentation

More importantly, you’ll learn how teams make GTM decisions when a product is still evolving.

Who this is for

This role may be a good fit for students interested in:

• Marketing
• Product Management
• Business
• Entrepreneurship
• Strategy
• Growth
• Communications
• Technology
