Startup Sales Development Intern — Vetra Technologies | Summer 2026
Boston, MA (Hybrid) · Internship
About Vetra Vetra Technologies is an enterprise decision intelligence platform that helps companies test, simulate, and understand the human and market consequences of major business decisions before they act.
Companies and organizations constantly make high-stakes decisions: launching new products, entering new markets, opening new locations, changing pricing, repositioning a brand, or investing in major campaigns. These decisions often involve millions of dollars, months of planning, and a lot of uncertainty around how customers, competitors, and markets will respond. Vetra helps companies reduce that uncertainty.
At the core of Vetra is a multi-agent simulation system that combines company data, external market data, and human behavior modeling to simulate how different populations may respond to strategic decisions. We are building a new layer of decision infrastructure for companies that need to understand not just what might happen, but why it might happen, who it affects, and what second-order consequences could emerge.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, behavioral modeling, market research, enterprise strategy, and simulation. We are exploring how companies can move beyond traditional surveys, slow feasibility studies, and static consulting reports toward faster, more dynamic decision testing. The long-term vision is to help organizations make better decisions by giving them a way to pressure-test major moves before committing real capital, time, and resources.
Joining Vetra means joining a startup at the stage where ideas still become reality fast. You will help shape the foundation of the company, contribute to real product and market research, and work directly on problems that influence what Vetra becomes. This is a rare opportunity to join a startup early and do work that actually matters from day one. As an intern, you will take on meaningful, real-world responsibilities while learning, collaborating, gaining exposure to how an early-stage company operates.
The Role We're looking for a sharp, outgoing Sales Development Intern who can represent Vetra with confidence and professionalism.

- Craft personalized, high-quality outreach via email and LinkedIn to initiate conversations with decision-makers
- Follow up persistently and strategically to move prospects through the pipeline
- Join discovery calls and product demos, articulating Vetra's value clearly and handling objections with confidence
- Help build scalable outreach playbooks and sales frameworks from the ground up
- Represent Vetra in a way that reflects the quality and ambition of what we're building
- Learn and work alongside the Vetra team and other interns
What We're Looking For
- Genuinely excited about startups, you want to be part of building something from early on, not just executing a defined role
- Outgoing, personable, and naturally comfortable talking to people at all levels
- Polished and put-together, you know how to present yourself and you take professionalism seriously
- Articulate speaker and writer; you communicate with clarity and don't waste people's time
- Highly driven and competitive, resilient under rejection, you're motivated by results, not just effort
- Strong follow-through; you don't let leads go cold and you know when to push and when to back off
- Ideally pursuing a degree in Business, Economics, Communications, or a related field
