Susa Ventures
Today, we’re excited to open applications for the 2023 Summer Fellows Program. This is the second cohort of the program, after last year’s inaugural cohort.
The Summer Fellows Program is a summer program that connects high-performing university students to software engineering internships at world-changing startups within the Susa portfolio and introduces them to a lifelong community of peers and mentors in the Susa Family.
Each Fellow will spend the summer as an intern at a Susa Ventures portfolio company, where they will work closely with top-tier founders and engineering leaders on meaningful projects. Working at an early-stage startup on a lean team will afford Fellows the opportunity to make an outsized impact in a fast-paced learning environment.
Mindful of the staggering underrepresentation of women (just 15% of all software engineers are women, despite being nearly half of the workforce) and BIPOC (of the “high tech” workforce, just 7.4% are Black and 8% are Latinx), our goal is to make this program representative of the diverse customers that our companies serve.
Participating companies
