About Bandana
Bandana exists to improve the livelihoods of hourly and entry-level workers through transparency and trust, starting with finding better jobs ❤️
The broader vision? Re-ignite the belief in the “American Dream” for workers. Specifically, the American promise that hard work can lead to success — and that this applies to all, not just the privileged few.
We seek people who:
- Lead with Head AND Heart: We want people who care deeply about the everyday Americans that we serve.
- Have Informed Opinions (Loosely Held): We have the conviction that building for workers first is the key to our success.
- Grow Through Action: We learn by doing. This takes time, energy, and in-person investment.
- Want to Work On What Matters: At Bandana, we work on challenging problems that make a real difference for real people.
Bandana is backed by top-tier VCs like General Catalyst and Craft Ventures. Learn more about our company vision here, coverage on Techcrunch for our funding rounds here and here, and check out our current product at bandana.com/search.
About the internship
This summer internship will last 10-12 weeks, starting in late May/early June and lasting through early-mid August, depending on your university schedule.
Bandana is based in the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. We believe in the power of face-to-face, personal connection. As a result, we are only considering in-person candidates that are expected to be present at our office 5 days a week.
