Hey, guys!

I’ve an interview for a unpaid full-stack developer internship scheduled at a new start-up that still doesn’t have funding.

They’re trying to develop some kind of plataform that let you use AI to get reports and analyse on crypto currencies.

If i ended up working there, I’d like the company to be successful, so I want to make sure I’m working for smart and organised people that have a real plan. The co-founders are really young(I’m sure they’re not older than 30) and one for them have a business degree. They told me that it’s a 3 months internship and if they get funded within this 3 months, I’d become a staff member. They’re offering a % of the company, I think there are 2 or 3 employees(2 co-founders included), they have a single web page on WordPress and that’s it. I’ve seen some screen-shot with data analyse on their company profile on linkedin but I think they have nothing else prepared.

I’m on the middle of interview processes with other companies(all paid positions) and then, this one comes as last resource because it’s a great opportunity to learn tons of things. I know that working at a start-up requires you to be an all around player, and the idea actually excites me a lot, that’s why some of the others companies I’m interviewing with are also startups(But mid level ones, or at least with funding to hire me for a full time position).

Giving you a bit of my background: I’m on my first year of university and I don’t have any formal experience working for companies. I started looking for entry level positions or internships as a developer two and a half weeks ago. That’s it :)

So, what should I ask during my interview with the co-founder? How can I make sure that they have a real chance to succeed?
