We're building Pikora, a fashion tech startup on a mission to make discovering fashion and building outfits feel as fun as creating them.
We're looking for our first cohort of Founding Contributors: five motivated students who want to help launch a real startup while building a portfolio that proves what they can do.
This is not the kind of internship where you spend three months watching from the sidelines.
It's a 12 week Launch Lab built around one mission: help launch Pikora.
Why this is different
Many graduates don't struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because they lack proof.
When you're applying for your first job, it's difficult to demonstrate what you're capable of without real projects and measurable results.
That's exactly what this program is designed to change.
Over 12 weeks you'll work on a live product, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, receive direct mentorship from the founder with more than 10 years of experience in UX, product design and design leadership, and build a Launch Portfolio showcasing real work that future employers can actually see.
You'll leave with more than internship experience. You'll leave with evidence of your skills.
Areas we're looking for
We're building a small cross functional team. Each contributor will own one area while collaborating closely with everyone else.
Fashion Content & Social
- TikTok, Instagram and short form content
- Content ideas and storytelling
- Organic growth experiments
Fashion Styling & Creative
- Outfit creation and styling concepts
- Fashion collages and visual storytelling
- Trend driven creative ideas
Community & Fashion Trends
- Researching Gen Z behaviour
- UK and London fashion culture
- Community engagement and feedback
Who we're looking for
You might be a great fit if you:
- Are currently studying at a university in the EU. This can be a voluntary or credited internship, depending on your university.
- Are passionate about fashion, creativity and digital culture.
- Follow Gen Z trends and understand platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
- Have excellent English.
- Love bringing ideas to life instead of simply executing instructions.
- Enjoy collaborating with other creative people.
No startup experience is required.
Curiosity, initiative and creativity matter much more.
What you'll gain
- Direct mentorship throughout the program.
- Experience working on a real fashion tech startup.
- A Launch Portfolio built on real projects.
- Cross functional collaboration with other contributors.
- Regular feedback and reviews.
- A LinkedIn recommendation and reference for outstanding contributors.
- Priority consideration for future paid opportunities as Pikora grows.
