About VALSEA: Speech intelligence infrastructure for Asia — built for the accents, dialects, and code-switching every other AI ignores.

The role:
We're looking for a BD & Outreach Intern who wants to be in the conversations that matter, not watching from the sidelines. You'll work directly alongside the CEO in live outreach, investor conversations, and client pitches — real prospects, real objections, real stakes.

Ownership here isn't assigned, it's assumed. You'll build pipeline, lead outreach, and gradually take investor and client conversations independently. Your work goes into real emails, proposals, and relationships that move the business.

What you'll do:

• Support and run investor and client outreach on behalf of the CEO

• Research and identify investors, partners, and clients across Asia

• Draft outreach emails, follow-ups, pitch decks, and one-pagers

• Build and maintain a prospect pipeline in our CRM, with clear status tracking — deals die in silence

• Join CEO meetings and actively participate in BD conversations

• Run market research on trends, whitespace, and relevant players

• Prep investor materials: decks, data rooms, briefing docs

• Represent VALSEA at events and networking sessions

• Gradually own select opportunities end-to-end

What we're looking for:

• Confident communicator, comfortable reaching senior stakeholders cold

• Genuine passion for deals and relationships — kindness matters just as much

• High agency: you surface opportunities instead of waiting for leads

• Fast learner who picks up new tools and priorities quickly

• Coachable, comfortable with ambiguity and rejection

• Startup or entrepreneurial mindset

• You think in relationships built, not emails sent — and you ask "what does this investor/client actually need?" before every outreach
