The Start-up World

By Camila Rivera-Garcia  
Spring 2015

I am currently working in Grid Waste, a start-up company that helps waste generators find the best prices for all types of waste disposal. It was established in 2014 and has between 1-10 employees. In my position in Grid Waste Content Marketing and Social Media Intern, I have six deliverables every week, whether newsletters, infographics, articles, blog, or social media content. When finding internships, I applied to many non-profits and only one start-up. When the time came for me to choose between a well-known think tank and a start-up company, I decided that the start-up was the right fit for me.
