Blaze is building the AI CFO for modern businesses 🤖💰
We're a YC S24 company backed by General Catalyst, creating the agentic finance platform where AI agents move money and manage finances autonomously. Licensed as an MSB and VASP, we serve 50+ countries with instant settlement powered by stablecoin rails.
Real talk:
This isn't a "shadow and take notes" internship. You'll be doing actual sales work from day one — building relationships, closing deals, and earning commission on what you close. Think of it as an intensive crash course in B2B sales at a fast-growing YC fintech.
💼 What You'll Do
Send 50-100 personalized outreach messages per day via email and LinkedIn to agencies, SaaS companies, and service businesses
Book and conduct 3-5 discovery calls per week — qualifying prospects and demoing our AI CFO
Close deals and earn commission (we'll train you on the full sales process)
Build AI sales agents and automated outreach sequences to scale your pipeline
Track prospects through our CRM and analyze campaign performance (Instantly, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator)
Identify new target segments and refine our ICP strategy based on what's converting
🎯 Who You Are
Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from university
Excellent written communication (English required)
Self-motivated and comfortable working remotely
Not afraid of rejection (sales means lots of "no"s before "yes"s)
Available 20-40 hours per week for 3-6 months
📚 What You'll Learn
B2B sales fundamentals (discovery, objection handling, closing)
Growth marketing (campaigns, A/B testing, funnel optimization)
How to build and deploy AI sales agents for automation
Agentic finance and AI-powered financial operations
Data-driven decision making and performance optimization
📊 Success Metrics (3 months)
3,000+ personalized outreach messages sent
30+ discovery calls conducted
10+ new business customers closed
Measurable improvement in campaign conversion rates
⚡ Why This Role is Different
💰 Commission-based:
Earn on every deal you close
🚀 Real responsibility:
Own relationships and close real deals (not just shadowing)
🎓 Full-time conversion:
Strong performers transition to paid full-time roles
👥 Direct mentorship:
Weekly 1-on-1s with founding team
⚡ Fast feedback loops:
See impact in days, not months
🌟 Career acceleration:
Get warm intros to other top startups in our network
🌟 Ideal Candidate
You're scrappy, curious, and hungry to learn. Comfortable with ambiguity and excited by building something from scratch. You understand that sales is about solving problems, not just pitching products. You track your own metrics without being asked. You write clearly and persuasively. When you hear "no," you ask "why?" instead of giving up.
