Review

I started my internship with a 3 day training in marketing, which I was studying at that moment to prepare me for working at the startup.
The startup was still in its pre-launch phase and so there was a lot of work to do. In general I'm quite lazy but because the team was very small (3 people) you can actually make a huge difference and you have a lot of responsibility which makes it very challenging. This taught me to work very hard and even do extra work just to impress my boss sometimes. And believe me, that's very not me.
However, I grew very close to the team and other people from a volunteer organization down the street, we always helped each other and went out with a huge group or go to the beach, climb volcanoes or go rafting. The Balinese culture is amazing, so beautiful and I love the food and the people.
I have learned more than I ever thought possible and I now have my own startup idea with which my mentor is helping me with. I have the feeling that this internship, unlike ones I did before at corporate companies, actually prepared me for creating my own startup from scratch, I have a huge set of skills now and a great network of like minded people who can help me with everything I need. And all of that in beautiful Bali where a huge community of entrepreneurs is emerging. I definitely recommend an internship at Start Me Up, you will learn more than you ever imagined. Hands down
