Why Wefunder?
- We're a great training ground if you’d like to start your own company. Working at Wefunder is different than most jobs.

- Lots of free food and drinks. And a great opportunity to meet new people at fireside chats and dinners with founders and experts in our field.
- We're also happy to teach and mentor. Give us your best, and we'll give you our best.
- We have a history of full-time offers for great interns that want to stay on board.
