101 Ventures, is offering a Paid CEO Internship Program this summer. If you think you have the ability to startup a company from scratch, their Internship might be the program for you.
This company is located in Bentonville, Arkansas and is operated by startup entrepreneurs and former upper level management of Wal-Mart Stores.
This group claims to have the ability to invest their time, money and talent to help high growth startup companies become thriving profitable entities. They are looking for “Quarterbacks” to setup up and take on challenges.
You’ve got until May 15th, 2011 to get your application in for their paid CEO Internship. If you’re chosen, you’ll start building a business plan then securing funding from their investors over the next three months.
Get the business funded, and you’ll move forward, running that business as CEO for the next 4 ½ months beginning August 15th.
Meet your performance objectives and you may be offered a permanent placement as CEO of that company.
For first time entrepreneurs, the offer is definitely worth looking into. You’ll be more creative than those that buy franchises, yet have the safety net from skilled business people surrounding you.
