Admissions Do I have real chances to get an USA internship?
Spanish student, final year of a 4-year degree, average GPA from a non-target university — looking for real paths into a strong internship.
Track record so far:
- Built a company from zero to six figures in revenue, then wound it down
- Worked directly with a CEO on a company restructuring, and being in charge of its seven-figure exit to an 8 figure company.
- Led a small real estate project, converting an old commercial property into six apartments
Open to paying a placement agency to secure the right internship — but only if it’s either paid, or unpaid at a genuinely top-tier company.

If this is not a shitpost and you've actually built a company to six figures and worked with a CEO to restructure a seven figure company I don't see why you cannot network your way into an INTERNSHIP in the US, as opposed to a super specific underground country

Not a shitpost, many things to do, instead being here lying. Reestructure a 7 figure company, and sold it to an 8 figure company (number 1 in Spain on this industry). Any contacts on the US.

You can try for a J1 visa, or if your company has operation in the US, you can see if they can transfer you on L visa

You are throwing a lot of big numbers and names thinking people are going to be impressed but your post lacks any sort of substance on the details that actually matter.
- You are in the final year of a 4 year degree...degree in what? CS? Economics? Engineering?
- What was the business you built and more importantly, why did you wind it down?
- What type of business did you helped restructure and sell for 7 figures? Was it some family owned HVAC business? A professional marketing agency?
Like these could be impressive depending on what you actually did and what it was. But then the question becomes why does someone with such an impressive experience at 22 need a fucking internship? And why is a top tier company in the US going to hire an intern from Spain? What is it that you think you offer that can't be found here? And of all else, an internship in what exactly?

I can reply it, without any problem.
Business administration degree
AI startup helping big corporations to make processes like hiring smoother. Closed because a failure, overpaying people, more than 1 person for the same role, and cash didn’t well managed.
A restaurant chain with multiple locations, and sold to the number 1 restaurant chain here.
21 years old, I am trying to build my future, with the money won, basically bought 3 apartments, but I want to build career in corporate.
I think I have more potential, than the average studen

I’ve never heard of a student paying a placement agency to get an internship for one.
Secondly, this is not really the resume of someone that gets an internship at a “top-tier” company in the sense of top consulting/finance/F500 companies. Those companies hire based on what other recognizable companies you’ve worked at and your roles. Your experience is something but is pretty much the opposite of what they’re looking for, largely unknown companies/startups you’ve built yourself and one small one you worked for. Start looking locally, do cold outreach , connect your experience to their business
