About PinwheelPinwheel builds purpose-built technology for kids: the first smartphone designed for children, a kids' smartwatch, and a modern landline product. We're a profitable, growing consumer hardware and subscription company backed by investors who believe technology should serve families, not exploit them. We operate lean, move fast, and ship real product.The InternshipThis is a high-ownership summer project working directly with the CEO to build Pinwheel's investor relations function from the ground up.
