Venture Studio & Consulting Research Intern (Remote)

This is a remote position.

About Vulcury

Vulcury is a venture studio and advisory consultancy focused on building and scaling AI-enabled businesses. We incubate companies across industries—including manufacturing intelligence, investment research, and applied AI systems—while simultaneously advising external clients on strategy, AI implementation, and operational transformation.

Our model combines hands-on consulting execution with venture incubation. Capital, research, and relationships drive both.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Venture Studio, Consulting & Fundraising Research Intern to support high-level strategic and capital initiatives across Vulcury and its portfolio companies.

This is a broad, high-ownership role. You will work at the intersection of strategic research, AI landscape analysis, and fundraising operations—supporting the studio's capital formation efforts while producing research that shapes product direction, competitive positioning, and operational infrastructure across Vulcury's ventures (including Calisade and Trustbridge).

You will interface with senior leadership, contribute to investor-facing materials, and help build the research and fundraising infrastructure that underpins Vulcury's growth. The output of your work will inform real decisions.
