hackNY Fellows Program

The hackNY Fellows program, now entering its third year, is an intense program designed to introduce students to NYC’s startup ecosystem by pairing the best technical minds with great New York startups. Local startups are carefully selected for the program and have demonstrated evidence of a mentoring environment, committing to:
(i) a specific person (CTO, lead dev, or other technical mentor) to work with you;
(ii) a specific place allocated for you to work; and
(iii) a specific technical problem for you to conquer during the program.
You’ll live with a cohort of some of the most talented and creative student-hackers from across the US + Canada; have a paid internship; and have the opportunity to learn from your work, learn from our structured weekly speaker series, and learn from each other.

Sound like an awesome summer? It is. To hear the class of 2011 describe their summer, please do see this video about what life is like as a hackNY Fellow.
