Summer Internship

Been applying to hundreds of internships these past months. No luck. Been changing plan and started to apply for smaller tech start ups that I have found. I just don't know how to approach this anymore being a freshman with no experience. Should I personally message people on LinkedIn that work at smaller firms and startups and see if they would take a chance? (I am located in NYC)
