WHO: Grey-box is a social innovation startup that is working on providing free wifi access to educational content in areas where internet and electricity access is problematic.

WHY: 50% of the world lives offline – they haven’t connected to the internet in the last 3 months. In Africa, the average cost for 1GB of data is 7% of the average monthly salary. Even in North America, 50% of rural Canada does not have access to the minimum speed for the Internet. We believe that this is a solvable problem.

HOW:  The internship will involve working on the financial aspects of 2 of our main projects: UNI, our offline connectivity projects designed for EdTech and MedTech applications and, 2) Project Codex, our medical terms translation tool designed for MedTech uses. Those projects will require a market and financial analysis. The intern will be tasked to estimating revenue, costs, and researching go-to-market strategies in the North American market.

Interns will be engaged in a range of tasks to support the financial and strategic aspects of Project UNI and Medical Codex. These tasks include:

• Estimating and analyzing revenue streams and cost structures.
• Conducting market research to inform go-to-market strategies.
• Assisting in the preparation of financial reports and budgets.
• Providing insights for financial planning and forecasting.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams for project financial management.

Weekly touch bases can be provided with the CEO and marketing or IT teams

Coaching and training resources can be provided based on the need.
