We sold out of our card games in the 2023 football season. We made some revisions to the card game and are planning a big launch for the 2024 football season. We currently only make football games. The concept of the game is transferable to other sports including basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, etc.
The Design Internship is a 3-month program. You can choose which 3-months you want. The internship is not a salary internship. If you perform well, it could turn into a full-time salary with commission, equity, and benefits. Working for a startup is a lot of fun. You will learn a lot and be able to have a big impact on the design strategy for the company.
