| Agency/Firm's Mission: |
| Founded by Yale/Stanford Business School Graduate Alyssa Rapp in June 2005, Bottlenotes is a customized wine club service delivering wine tailored to our club members personal tastes. Bottlenotes offers each member access to his/her own "Virtual Cellar," as well as a myriad of proprietary wine content platforms such as the Bottlenotes Winecyclopedia (www.winecyclopedia.com). Bottlenotes looks forward to evolving into the premier online wine community website, aka: the "MySpace of Wine." |
| Value of the internship to the Agency/Firm: |
| Bottlenotes relished in the hard work of two summer interns from Stanford University last summer and would look forward to an equally engaged "Bulldog" this summer. Summer interns would likely take ownership of 1-2 projects throughout the summer, either involving sales & marketing, engineering, online community building, etc, depending upon where his/her interest, experience, and talents lie. The nature of a start-up is that of the endless amount of interesting projects available to a summer intern, the most mission-critical ones will become more clear as June approaches. By comparison, our summer interns from 2007 "owned" the Winecyclopedia's research and implementation, as well as four smaller sub-projects, and we'd look forward to a similar structure for the summer of 2008. |
| Value of the internship to the Intern: |
| Exposure to the fast-paced environment of a Silicon Valley start-up, and the unique opportunities afforded for growth, leadership, and multi-dimensional learning therein. Intern can expect to receive training directly by the firm's CEO in business development, sales & marketing, & customer relations, or by the firm's VP of Technology in product management and implementation depending upon his/her skill-set. |
