Today marks the end of the internship for our first batch of DCo research interns as they graduate from the program. This program is a sprint, designed to train researchers to defend their opinions in front of the sharpest editors and think beyond consensus. Over the last three months, they’ve been deeply embedded into our research stack, taking on high-context briefs, developing crypto-native thinking, and refining their editorial discipline. Here’s what they brought to the table: @sakshimiishra Has a strong eye for meta-trends and the confidence to form original, unconventional theses around them. She thinks independently, writes with clarity, and brings creative depth (she’s also the mind behind the recent cartoon series on our timeline). She’d be a great fit for roles across research & content strategy. @oxwizzdom Turns data into insight. Spots trends early, breaks them down with rigor, and communicates them with simplicity. Methodical, consistent, and deeply curious, the kind of researcher every team wants around. He’d thrive in roles involving data-driven research. We highly recommend them both! If you’re hiring for research or analyst roles, feel free to drop a DM.
