About The Company:
True Goods is a socially responsible ecommerce start-up focused on selling only safe/non-toxic, highly curated products across the spectrum of home and personal goods, with a focus on meeting the needs of savvy consumers in today’s growing health and eco-conscious marketplace. We take the guesswork out of which products are safe and effective so customers can easily make informed purchasing decisions based on personal differentiators like style, price, flavor, etc...the icing on the cake!
Our mission is to provide the best of the best all in one place – from safe products to compelling and educational editorial to assessment and sharing tools, all of which make True Goods the ultimate healthy lifestyle online shopping experience. Our customers are discerning and passionate and tired of greenwashing practices. They want an honest, trustworthy, hip, accessible and engaging one-stop shop for most of their shopping needs, from everyday essentials to gifts and specialty items. True Goods delivers exactly that!
The company has been in rapid development mode since early 2013 and officially launched this October. We are thrilled and honored to be part of the dynamic start-up community in Colorado and proud of the relationships we are building locally with community stakeholders, designers, vendors, investors, and LOHAS thought and business leaders. We are looking for motivated, socially conscious, and collaboratively driven interns to join our team and help establish this forward-thinking company as a leader in the ecommerce marketplace. This is a tremendous opportunity to do great work for a great company while gaining invaluable and truly unparalleled work experience.
