CURRENT TEAM
We recently raised a round of funding, and looking to bring on board an intern /
part time editor to help us improve the product in advance of a launch planned
for late summer / early fall. Your work will have a tremendous impact on how
our site is perceived. This is an exciting time for our business, so if you are
looking to make a ton of impact working with a small team, we want to hear from

COMPANY INTRO
We are building an internet startup (Web 2.0 type), in financial services. The
offering is a first of its kind, meaningful interactive platform, clearly
differentiated through implementation of unique information structuring and
design principles applied to financial information (patent pending)

Over the last year the team has converted what was a mere idea to a product
where the aha jumps out. The present go-to-market stage is an exciting time for
us - encouraged by the "wow" response from users, and are looking to launch the
platform in Q3 of 2009.

People in our close group of mentors and our seasoned angel investors / advisers
call it a 'Big swing at a large space'. The unique platform, executed right in
the marketplace, will be disruptive to the I-Banking business. We expect to
redefine at the fundamental level, how individuals, both institutional and
retail, access and use business news/information, and how corporations raise
capital from public.

WHAT EXPERIENCE/ INTERESTS WILL BE USEFUL?
* In possession or pursuit of BA/BS, MS, especially candidates with English,
or, logic and reasoning majors may find themselves at an advantage
* Excellent written communication skills
* Ability to structure and present arguments in support of a position clearly
will be a key asset
* Curious about understanding what drives the value of a company or business
* Curious about investing, finance and startups
* Desire to be in a startup environment


WHAT IS THE POSITION ABOUT / WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY?
If you want to get a feel for being an internet entrepreneur this is a dream
opportunity. You will play a key role in shaping the quality of our site and the
user experience. If you are excited about rolling up your sleeves and building
something, this is the right position.

In addition, the role will have flexibility to assume different positions and
there may be an opportunity to join the team full time down the road.
