Internship Reference: MXBS11
Company Description:
This Company is a three-year-old startup: a for-profit, for social good.
It was conceived as a software platform that gathers “collective intelligence”. The platform acts as a virtual moderator that allows organisation-wide, or community-wide problem solving: it synthesises and centralises complex information open-ended information, creating connections and thereby identifying and solving problems. More than poll- or survey-taking, the software synthesises clusters of open-ended proposals. The software is especially useful for very large or decentralised organisations to make decisions, communicate problems or identify issues collectively.
This small, disruptive and innovative company is always growing. Despite its small size, it already has accounts in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. It also has all kinds of accounts: the platform is used by political candidates, NGOs, activist groups and small businesses alike. In 2019, the Company wants to promote itself among large Mexican companies and organisations, and among Mexican Congress members.
