Anyone looking for an internship with a venture backed startup?
If you're looking for an internship with a venture-backed startup to hone your entrepreneurial skill set - check out this program offered by True Ventures out in the Bay Area. Basically, they pair you with one of their portfolio companies for 8 weeks over the summer. I participated last year and thought y'all on the board may be interested.

From the website:
True Ventures is a seed and very early stage venture capital firm with offices in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Northern Virginia. We partner with talented entrepreneurs to help them build businesses in software and services, Internet, new media, gaming, mobile, and infrastructure. These are rapidly growing young companies that we think will shape or transform their target markets. You can help.
This summer, we are inviting a group of students to take part in the second True Entrepreneur Corps (TEC) program and join our portfolio companies in the San Francisco Bay area and across the country. As a member of TEC, you will be paired with one of our companies and spend eight weeks working on a variety of projects both appropriate to your background and skill set and of value to the company. For example, you could help design a new user interface for an e-commerce marketplace. You could help write code for a new Facebook game or a mobile sweepstakes. You could do market research to support the editors of one of the leading technology blog platforms.
