You're not underqualified. You're unseen.
GEN-MAX finds the small firms that never advertise internships — the ones where the founder still reads the inbox — and emails them from your own Gmail, using your own script or one the AI writes from your CV.
The portal saw 900 CVs.
The firm next door saw none.
Every big grad scheme is a lottery with hundreds of tickets. Meanwhile, thousands of brilliant small firms — the ones that actually reply — never post an internship anywhere. That's where you get seen.
Three steps. About ten minutes.
Say who you want to work for — in plain English
No filters, no databases to learn. Type it like a text. GEN-MAX searches the live web and maps, reads each firm's actual website, and keeps only the ones that genuinely match — with the reason attached.
At a firm of six, there is no HR filter
No portal. No applicant tracking system. No screening round. The address on their contact page goes to the person who'd actually decide — which is why replies come back from founders and partners themselves, not a recruitment team. Reaching them is the entire game, and it's what GEN-MAX is built to do at scale.
✓ On Pro, we'll also find the founder by name where we canWrite it yourself, or let the AI write it
Write your own script and GEN-MAX personalises it per firm — or let the AI write it from your CV from scratch. Either way you see every email before it sends, and every claim is fact-checked against your real CV. It goes from your own Gmail, one at a time, like a person. Because it is one.
I saw Marlow & Hart specialises in lower-mid-market consumer deals — that's exactly the space I studied in my retail M&A dissertation at Manchester. I'd love to spend a few summer weeks learning how a six-person team actually runs a deal…
Built so you can check our work
Most tools ask you to trust them. GEN-MAX shows receipts — every firm carries the reason it was chosen, and every dead email address gives you the credit back, automatically.
Dead address? You don't pay.
If a firm's email bounces — before or after sending — the credit returns to your balance on its own. You'll see it in your credit history.

Asked by every student, answered honestly
Isn't this just spam?+
No — and the design makes it impossible to be. Each email is written individually from your CV and that firm's own website, fact-checked, and sent one at a time from your personal Gmail with natural gaps. It's the digital version of walking in with your CV — to a firm chosen because it genuinely fits.
Do small firms even take interns?+
Constantly — they just never advertise it. A six-person firm doesn't run a grad scheme; they take the occasional student who impresses them directly. That's precisely why your email lands: you might be the only applicant they hear from all term.
Who actually receives my email?+
The real contact address on the firm's own website — and at a small firm, that's read by the founder or a partner, not a recruitment team. That's the whole reason this works. On Pro, where a founder's direct address can also be found, they get a personal copy as well (Beta); when it can't, the firm's inbox still gets your email marked for their attention. Either way, every firm on your list is reached.
What if an address is dead?+
Then you don't pay for it. Bounced or non-existent addresses are detected — before sending where possible, and from the bounce afterwards — and the credit is returned to your balance automatically. It appears in your credit history, so you can check.
Does the AI write my emails, or do I?+
Whichever you prefer. Write your own script once and GEN-MAX personalises it for each firm, or let the AI draft one from your CV and edit it however you like. You can keep several scripts and pick per campaign — and you review every email before anything sends.
Will it make things up about me?+
It can't. Every email is checked against your actual CV before sending, and anything unsupported is rejected and rewritten. You can view exactly which facts from your CV the emails are allowed to use.
