My name is Jordan Lisnow, and I am a co-founder of Partunity, a platform designed to connect entrepreneurs with technical talent, helping bring startup ideas to life. Our mission is to make the startup world accessible to everyone by bridging the gap between non-technical founders and the skilled professionals they need to build and scale their businesses. We are a small, highly dedicated team of three people, including myself, an undergrad at UofSC.

Why We Need You

At Partunity, we are facing a challenge with tracking user engagement and understanding user behavior on the platform. This insight is critical to driving informed development changes, launching new features, and making the platform as user-friendly as possible. Specifically, we need help identifying why users may not be creating matches or fully utilizing platform features. To do this, we need someone who can gather and analyze multiple data points, giving us deeper insights into our user base.

Every year, the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) at the University of Maryland seeks talented undergraduate and graduate students to participate in the Research for Intelligence & Security Challenges (RISC) Initiative internship program. This 10-week paid and mostly virtual program pairs students with faculty mentors from INSURE consortium member institutions and the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. Eligible interns may receive security clearances and be considered for future employment with the U.S. government.

Competitively-selected RISC interns (RISCers) work in teams with mentorship from university faculty and government practitioners. They work on real security and intelligence problems posed by the government. 

Over the 10 weeks, students will conduct research and participate in lectures and regular team development meetings in a shared virtual work environment. The summer program concludes with several days of in-person activities in College Park, MD to discuss project outcomes with peers and visiting experts from DOD/IC and to gain greater context on how the work fits into government sponsors' mission space.

The program is structured for team interactions and engagement with government sponsors. Interns attend weekly seminars and regular team development meetings in a shared virtual work environment (though select projects may require on-site work). Interns then participate in final week briefings and activities in person (with travel support).

Read more about RISC in our 2023 Internship Program Report.
