Internship roles at niche startups for economics/finance majors?

Hi everyone! I'm in dire need of some advice...

I'm currently in the final year of undergrad and am looking to intern in a biotech startup, particularly in cellular agriculture (think cell-based meat). I've grown to be really passionate about this industry as it aligns with a lot of my values, and I'm really keen to learn more about it from the point of view of a startup. As most startups in this space are very small, my plan was to just cold email a bunch of them. I've seen on LinkedIn a few 'Research Interns', but haven't seen any management related internship roles. The problem is that I'm majoring in economics and finance. Because of this, I'm not sure what role I can bring the most value through as a startup intern or what role I should put in my cover letters.

I have previously interned in a bulge bracket investment bank as an investment banking summer analyst, but I've never interned in a startup before. I'm just finding it a bit difficult to navigate the application process as it's not as structured as in IB.

My question is: what management related intern roles for business majors (particularly economics/finance) are generally required in niche spaces like this?

If it's relevant, I'm primarily looking at APAC opportunities (Singapore/Australia). Any guidance would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a great day Smile
