6-month internship | Gap year or end-of-studies | Paris | Starting January 2027

Verso is an AI-native consumer research platform. We help brands test their products, campaigns and claims with real consumers, quickly, at scale, and with a depth traditional research cannot match.

Verso is founded by an experienced team with a track record in strategy, technology, and company building:

Verso is backed by Hexa (eFounders) and raised 6M$ as seed funding.
