About Abode Money

Abode Money is the first-ever AI financial home manager, using AI to save homeowners on property taxes, insurance, mortgage and more. Homeowners spend $2T+ per year on their home.

We’ve raised $23M from Permanent Capital, Drive Capital, Sequoia, Core VC and The 81 Collection.

The Role

We’re seeking a driven and resourceful Operations & Business Development Intern to join us for Summer 2026. You’ll work closely with company leadership on high-impact projects spanning operations, customer experience, and market research. This is a hands-on role designed for someone eager to gain startup experience, take ownership, and learn quickly in a fast-paced environment.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Operations Projects: Tackle operations projects including process improvement, data analysis, and customer support initiatives.
• Support Business Development: Run market research, competitor analysis, and identify new partnership opportunities.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with product, growth, and engineering teams to solve challenges and build scalable systems.
• Document Repeatable Processes: Help build and document processes around onboarding, customer communications, and regulatory research.
• Analyze Key Metrics: Collect, analyze, and present key metrics to drive insights and decision-making.
• Challenge Convention: Contribute your creativity and perspective to challenge conventional approaches and drive continuous improvement.

Who You Are

• You are a natural owner—proactive, organized, and comfortable with ambiguity.
• You are analytical and data-oriented, able to make decisions with incomplete information.
• You are an excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
• You are eager to learn, unafraid to get your hands dirty, and comfortable figuring things out without a playbook.
• You are biased toward action, low-ego, and high-accountability.

Basic Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree (rising Junior/Senior preferred).
• Strong interest in startups, business operations, or technology.
• Experience with Google Suite, market research, data analysis, and related tools.
• Bonus: experience with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini), SQL, or project management platforms.
• Willing to be in Austin, TX for the internship (3 days/week in person).

Our Core Values

• The biggest thing we pride ourselves on is autonomy. You can’t move fast through committee decision-making, so we hire people who want to own workstreams outright. Take ownership. This is yours. We build everything through single-threaded autonomy. One person owns the outcome, makes the calls, and sees it through.
• We believe in “asking for forgiveness, not permission” so you can make unencumbered decisions.
• Mov
• Speed is our edge. Perfection is the enemy of momentum. We will forever move faster than our competition.
• We believe in thinking big and challenging convention. Dare to do things differently. You don’t change the world with incrementally better solutions.
• We measure everything. Data is the tiebreaker. We turn instincts into evidence, hunches into experiments, and opinions into numbers. If we can measure it, we can beat it.
