Launch your career inside a high-growth UK startup

The Envestors UK Venture Internship Programme places ambitious graduates from leading universities around the world into early-stage, high-growth businesses across the UK.

Envestors is a London-based investment network and a UK Home Office endorsing body for the Innovator Founder visa, so we work every day with founders building some of the UK's most promising new businesses.

You don't apply for a single job. You apply once to the programme, and if accepted, we match you with a host company that fits your skills, interests and career goals.

What the programme offers

• A tailored placement – we match you to a host startup based on your skills, interests and goals, so you skip the cold applications

• Access to vetted, high-growth startups – host companies come from the Envestors network of endorsed founders and investor-backed businesses and our wider network

• Real-world, hands-on experience – meaningful projects and ownership, not coffee runs

• Mentorship – direct exposure to founders, plus support from the Envestors team throughout your placement

• Visa and relocation guidance – support navigating your UK visa route and settling in, through our visa partners at Intern UK

• A global network – connect with founders, investors and a cohort of peers from the worlds top universities

• Insight into venture and startup investing – see how early-stage companies raise capital and grow

• International experience on your CV – a standout start to a career in tech, venture or entrepreneurship

Who we're looking for

• Recent graduates or undergraduate students from the world's top universities (as per the list of eligible institutions on the High Potential Individual (HPI) visa list)

• Any discipline – business, engineering, computer science, economics, sciences and humanities all welcome

• Curious, proactive and comfortable with ambiguity

• Excited by startups, innovation and building something from the ground up

• Ready to relocate to the UK for the duration of the placement

3. Get matched with a host startup that fits your profile

4. Interview with your host and confirm your placement

5. Relocate and start, with support from us before and during your internship
