Built for Richmond. Free, forever.
A community resource for Greater Richmond small businesses and the next generation of local talent.
Why we built this
Last year, one local internship program placed roughly 3% of applicants — not because students weren't ready, but because employers didn't have the structure to host them. Postings, applications, onboarding, check-ins, reviews — that's a job nobody on staff has time for. So roles never open and students go empty-handed. We're closing that gap.
Why it's free
The Richmond business community already pays for its talent pipeline through universities, schools, and every founder who mentors on the side. Charging for the platform on top of that misses the point. This is a community resource, not a SaaS company. There is no paywall and no premium tier — ever.
Who's behind it
A volunteer-led group of Richmond operators, with Xponent21 as our pilot host. If you'd like to host a cohort, sponsor mentorship time, or contribute to the platform itself, we'd love to hear from you.
