CDL-West Intern

Background:

The Creative Destruction Lab is a seed venture development program for massively scalable science and technology based ventures founded to positively impact the human condition. The CDL has instituted a unique summer program in light of the COVID-19 pandemic that accelerates ventures that address Covid-19 in terms of information-based solutions. CDL-West, based at UBC Sauder School of Business, supports CDL-Recovery in venture recruitment, venture
management, pedagogy, virtual event management and in achievement of mentor-delegated objectives. Given that CDLRecovery exists above and beyond regular CDL-West programming, the CDL-West interns are crucial to the programs execution.

Anticipated project activities:

The CDL-West interns will support all elements of CDL-Recovery but will have special emphasis on virtual event management and providing consultative support for the benefit of the ventures’ achievement of mentor-delegated objectives. Projects may include market analysis, customer development, financial analysis, and other core activities related to building early stage start-ups as designated by program mentors and allocated by the CDL-Recovery team.
