Summer 2026
Growth & Revenue Operator
This is not a shadow opportunity. This is 8–10 weeks inside an early-stage startup that's counting on you to contribute — finding prospects, running outreach, booking meetings, and owning the top of the sales funnel alongside the founder.

You'll leave the summer saying 'I worked at DRIP' — not 'I interned there.'"
— Mack Duffin, Founder / Miami '19
What is DRIP?
DRIP is a drone-powered exterior cleaning service for commercial and industrial buildings — warehouses, distribution centers, grain elevators, manufacturing facilities, and bourbon distilleries. We clean structures that are difficult, dangerous, or disruptive to maintain with traditional methods. No scaffolding, no shutdowns, no workers at height.
DRIP operates as a division of VizionAir, an established commercial drone company. While VizionAir focuses on aerial data capture and inspection services, DRIP applies drone technology to physical service delivery — turning drones into tools that do work, not just collect information. Both companies share operational infrastructure and FAA-certified flight expertise, but serve fundamentally different markets with different business models.
What You'll Own
Drive awareness, engagement, and early revenue by owning front-end growth efforts. This role blends sales execution, marketing distribution, and growth experimentation into one outcome-driven position.
You'll co-own the top and middle of the sales funnel alongside the founder — turning attention into conversations, and conversations into qualified opportunities. This is not an observational role. You are responsible for results.

Fully embedded with the founder. Daily communication, shared priorities, high autonomy with clear weekly goals and measurable outputs. Real customers, real outreach, real feedback loops.
