Jetty

Jetty is small startup with a grand goal: Creating financially viable, high-quality transit alternatives to the automobile in fiscally constrained megacities across the world. We build such alternatives from pre-existing, quasi-informal systems. Instead of displacing incumbent jitney operators, we learn what they are doing right, and change incentives so they improve their service. We introduce the pre-existing transit industry (passengers, drivers and vehicle owners) to the advantages of modern technologies. We improve their governance and administration, optimize and standardize operations, link revenues to customer satisfaction, and increase profitability.

Internship Description

The intern would be working cross-functionality within the company, assisting the C-suite and the business development department. There are a couple of possible ideas for summer intern projects:

  • Capture new players (transportistas) for Jetty's portfolio. This would consist of reaching out to potential new clients in CDMX and the State of Mexico.

  • Understand and improve the experience of current transportistas in Jetty's portfolio. Develop and integrate customer experience practices into the day-to-day processes of our startup.

  • Work directly with our CTO, Jorge, as a Product Manager. Because we are a small company, Jorge is not only the lead engineer but the product manager of all of our products. The intern could choose a product of their choice and pivot its direction and short to medium-term success.
