About the role
The YC Internship Program brings together a cohort of startup-minded students for community and learning from YC partners, founders, and experts. Throughout the summer, YC will host virtual & in-person talks and events, giving you more insight into the industry and what it takes to build a startup.
YC will also connect you with summer work with a vetted, high-growth startup to work directly with founders and early engineers on mission-critical projects, and build real-world product development skills.
What to Expect?
Talks with founders: Attend closed-door sessions to hear from YC founders on how they build their companies and the lessons they've learned along the way.
Cohort community: Join a community of fellow students, engineers & builders at other YC startups (that you wouldn't otherwise meet as an intern at a small startup).
Access to the YC network: YC interns learn a lot of valuable skills at our startups, and we'll give special consideration to any YC intern who applies to YC as a founder.
Note: There are 50+ internships available across engineering, design, product, business development, marketing, and more.
