Company overview

FirstInternships

FirstInternships helps students land their first internship by reaching out to companies directly, instead of disappearing into job-board portals. This page summarizes what the company is, what it owns, and a conservative view of what it is worth.

What the company does

Most internships at small and mid-size companies are never posted publicly. They go to whoever reached out first. FirstInternships gives any student that direct line: a database of verified recruiting contacts, an AI that writes a tailored email for each one, and a system that sends it safely from the student's own Gmail at a pace that protects their sending reputation.

The platform also publishes free tools that grade a resume or a cold email, a library of guides on how to reach out, and a referral program that rewards students for bringing friends.

Ownership

FirstInternships is independently owned and operated by its founder, Jay Reddy. He is a university student who built the platform after watching the same thing happen to students around him: dozens of applications sent through job boards, no replies, while the internships that actually got filled went to whoever contacted the company first.

He designed and built the product end to end, from the verified contact database to the AI that writes each email to the system that sends it safely. The company has no outside investors and no debt.

Every address in the database is checked at the mail-server level, so students spend their effort on companies that can actually receive their message. Dead addresses are removed, and a bounce-reporting loop keeps the list clean as it ages.

Assets behind the valuation

Valuation

$35k-$45kConservative, asset basis (2026)
$250k-$750kEarly-stage range with traction

FirstInternships is an early-stage company. The lower figure is a conservative, defensible estimate of current value based on the finished product, the verified database, published content, and brand. The higher range reflects where comparable early-stage companies in this space are valued once they build a user base and recurring revenue. These are internal estimates based on stated assumptions, not a formal appraisal or an offer.
