## Job description

## About Known

Known is not a dating app. Known is a matchmaker. Users join by doing a voice call with Known, we curate one match at a time, and we plan the actual date, restaurant included. No swiping. No endless chatting. Just real connection.

We're backed by Forerunner Ventures, NFX, and PearVC, and we've built a community of 10,000 users in San Francisco through parties, creators, and word-of-mouth. Now we're bringing that to San Diego.

## About the Fellowship

We're looking for 2-3 interns to help support Known GTM across our launch cities. You'll be working directly with our on-the-ground team to shape how Known enters each of our launch cities social scenes, at events and inside the social circles that actually matter.

If you're deeply plugged into San Francisco and/or San Diego, and passionate about marketing, events, social media, or community building, this is for you.

## What you'll do

- Plan and host dinners, parties, and events that introduce Known to San Diego / San Francisco
- Map the social landscape: who the connectors are, which circles matter, where the culture lives
- Recruit users and identify influential students and creators worth bringing into the Known community
- Create content for TikTok and Instagram that feels native, not promotional
- Source and develop local partnerships with venues, brands, and organizations that fit the Known vibe

## Who you are

- You're extremely social and well connected in San Francisco / San Diego
- People trust your taste and follow your lead
- You understand social dynamics intuitively
- You're comfortable on camera and making content
- You're excited by startups, culture, and being part of something early
- You're based in San Diego or will be there for the month of June

## About Known

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Known is building a personalized voice‑AI matchmaker that talks to users, understands their preferences, and supports them like a friend.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – raised $9.7M)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: Not publicly available
- **Founders**: Not publicly available

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Artificial intelligence / Consumer matchmaking
- Target customers: B2C (individuals seeking meaningful human connections)
- Mission: “Empower humanity by applying personalized general intelligence to human connection.”

## Products & Services
- **Personalized Voice‑AI System**: A conversational agent that ingests speech‑to‑text and sentiment data, uses an in‑house LLM to model compatibility, and powers agentic chat with real‑world integrations (reservations, Uber, calendar). Delivered as a SaaS mobile/web experience.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding $9.7M (raised as of latest round)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly disclosed in available sources
- **Growth Signals**: Small, highly focused team of engineers who previously shipped major consumer AI products at Uber Eats, Uber, Faire, and Afterpay; recent funding indicates strong investor confidence.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Personalized general intelligence**: The system learns each user’s compatibility preferences and adapts its conversations and suggestions over time.
- **Real‑world integrations**: Directly books reservations, rides, and calendar events – going beyond typical chatbots.
- **Tiny, high‑caliber team**: Engineers from some of the most‑used AI consumer products of the last decade, enabling rapid iteration and deep domain expertise.

## Strategic Focus
- Current priority is to build the “one AI product they’ve always wanted to work on” – a deeply personal, voice‑first assistant for human connection. Near‑term focus likely includes growing the user base, refining the LLM for compatibility, and expanding integration partners.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, tight‑knit engineering team with a “build what you love” ethos. The company values shipping high‑impact AI consumer experiences.
- **Work policy**: Hybrid – flexible on‑site presence in San Francisco (typical time on‑site: flexible).
- **Notable perks**:
  - Top‑tier health, vision & dental insurance
  - Yearly company offsites
  - Lunch and dinner provided on‑site
  - Unlimited drinks & snacks
  - Office dog (Dolly)
