Introducing Startup Summer

Learn by doing. Create things that matter. Grow in ways you didn't even see coming.

⸻

What's Startup Summer?

It’s not a coffee-fetching internship. It’s a hands-on learning lab for future founders.
 

Startup Summer is your chance to step inside the early days of a mission-driven startup and experience what it’s really like to build something from the ground up. You’ll work directly with the founder of One Life and a small, scrappy team of rising entrepreneurs to come up with bold ideas to improve and grow the app—and then bring them to life.

You’ll make things. You’ll try things. You’ll learn things you didn’t know you didn’t know.

You’ll help build a startup designed to help people live better lives… and spoiler alert: your own life might just level up in the process.

What's One Life?

One Life is like if a life coach, a motivational speaker, and your funniest friend had a baby—and that baby was an app.

It’s designed to help people stop doomscrolling and start doing the things that matter most to them. Every day, it gives users one small, powerful action to become their best selves - whether that means - stronger, calmer, happier, or just a little more awesome.

Launching in Spring/Summer 2025, One Life is here to vanquish mediocrity, one tiny, powerful step at a time.

During Startup Summer, you’ll help make it awesome, weird, and even more world-changing.

What you'll do

Choose your own adventure

Test-drive different roles across marketing, product, design, and more. Then lean into the one that sparks your excitement.

Experiment without fearing failure

Startup Summer is your playground. You’ll test ideas, launch experiments, celebrate wins, and learn from what flops. It’s not about perfection—it’s about growth.

Learn from someone who’s been there

You’ll work alongside One Life’s founder (with 10+ years in product, UX, and marketing) and get coaching, honest feedback, and insider tips.

Find your tribe

You’ll team up with other future founders to swap ideas, hype each other up, and maybe even form a lifelong group chat.

Access exclusive resources

You’ll unlock founder wisdom drops, side quests, and a shared vault of experiments and insights from the team.

Build your own portfolio

Every project, experiment, and contribution is a chance to create portfolio-worthy work you can showcase on your résumé, LinkedIn, or in future interviews.

Become more awesome

You’ll get free access to the One Life app all summer—so you can work on building YOU, too.

No paycheck. But plenty of payoff.

Startup Summer is an unpaid internship and learning experience focused on real-world skill-building, mentorship, and creative collaboration.

There is no salary or wages, and financial compensation is not guaranteed. There are no fees to join or hidden costs to participate. Just a chance to make cool stuff, learn a ton, and surprise yourself with what you're capable of.

You may be invited to help spread the word, ask others for feedback, or pitch in on growth experiements. And when you go above and beyond, we'll celebrate you with shoutouts, bonuses, or other magical little thank-yous.

You bring the energy—we’ll bring the opportunities.

⸻

Why this matters:

Some summers evaporate. This one won’t.

You’ll meet people who get you. Build wild, beautiful things. And maybe even level up your whole freaking life.

If you want growth, adventure, and the kind of fun that rewires your brain (in a good way), buckle up. This ride’s for you.
