About the internship

Nostics is building a new platform that brings together our AI and software expertise for spectral data processing into a single, end-to-end workflow, from data ingestion and curation to search, annotation, analysis, and model-ready datasets.
We’re looking for a Business Development / Market Research Intern to help us validate the market, sharpen our positioning, and build an initial outreach pipeline as we prepare for early pilots.

What You’ll Do
You’ll work closely with the founding team on early commercial discovery:
  • Map the market: identify key segments, workflows, and buying centers across spectroscopy-heavy labs and teams (e.g. Raman Spectrometry and Mass Spectrometry).
  • Build a competitive landscape: analyze existing tools such as spectral libraries, vendor software suites, chemometrics tools, and adjacent platforms.
  • Develop Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) hypotheses: define early-adopter profiles and the problems they most urgently need solved.
  • Create an outreach pipeline: compile and prioritize companies and roles for customer discovery and potential partnerships.
  • Support customer discovery: conduct interviews, capture insights, and synthesize findings into clear recommendations.
  • Explore commercial viability: contribute to a high-level business plan covering target customers, value proposition, market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM) and pricing hypotheses, go-to-market options, and what would make this worth pursuing as a standalone business.
Who you are
  • Enrolled in an MBA or MSc (Business/Strategy/Innovation), or a comparable Business Administration program.
  • Interest in business development, go-to-market, and entrepreneurship. You enjoy turning ambiguity into a plan and testing it in the real world.
  • Strong synthesis skills: you can turn messy information into clear decisions.
  • Comfortable working with spreadsheets and writing concise, structured memos.
  • Curious, proactive, and independent: you ask sharp questions and follow them through.
  • Bonus: interest in life sciences or applied AI.
What you’ll learn
  • How to take a deep-tech product from technical capability to a credible commercial narrative.
  • Practical approaches to market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM) and forming pricing hypotheses with limited data.
  • How early-stage teams run customer discovery and turn qualitative insights into strategic decisions.
  • How to think about go-to-market strategy for B2B scientific and lab software.
  • What it looks like to assess whether a product idea is venture-scale, niche, or not worth pursuing.
