Celebrating the hackNY Class of 2025 Fellows!

For 10 weeks in summer 2025, 13 students came from 12 universities, spread out all over North America! Some came to New York City for the first time while others lived just a state away in NJ. They were hand selected for their diverse and talented backgrounds with strong ideas about the future of tech. Our Fellows interned at 13 local companies this summer and learned everything they can about New York City and its unique tech scene.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Fellows program includes community-style housing in Brooklyn along with the opportunity to connect with founders, investors, journalists, technologists, and all-around leaders from the New York City tech community.

Since 2010, the hackNY community has grown to 300+ hackNY Fellows. Our AlumNY serve as mentors to the Fellows throughout the fellowship, helping them navigate their new internships, New York City, and life in general.
