NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Loeb, founder and CEO of Loeb.nyc, the
venture collective based in New York
City, has opened the application process for his company's
internship program scheduled for the summer of 2022. The
long-running internship program is part of Loeb's ongoing
commitment to developing future generations of entrepreneurs by
placing college students from around the country into roles in the
startup ecosystem. Sponsored by Loeb.nyc, the paid internships are
designed for students who express a particular interest in working
on early-stage businesses and nascent ideas.
Since its start in the summer of 2017, Loeb.nyc's Summer
Internship Program has placed more than 100 students from over 40
U.S. colleges in summer-long positions. In addition to practical
startup experience and direct interaction with entrepreneurs, the
interns are presented with a speaker series featuring successful
individuals from various fields of business, the arts, and
philanthropy.
"It's always inspiring to gather a group of bright young
students who have varied interests but a similar desire to innovate
and learn," said Michael Loeb. "It
is our responsibility to see that each participant in the
internship program is able to help their startup or new idea evolve
in a meaningful way. These students are not making copies, they are
opening conversations, participating in the creative process and
pitching innovation."
Put on hold in 2020 due to challenges posed by the pandemic,
Loeb's program returned in the summer of 2021 with participating
students representing more than a dozen schools including
Amherst College, Notre Dame, the University of
Connecticut, the University of
Chicago and Indiana University.
Students were placed in positions at a variety of companies within
the Loeb.nyc portfolio including 3x3 Insights, Firstleaf, Lockstep
Ventures, Mercato, Nunbelievable, Orthosnap, Rocket Fuel Labs, SiO
Beauty, Steady, Thnks and Loeb.nyc itself.
In a typical year, roughly 1,000 students apply for two dozen
spots offered in Loeb.nyc's Summer Internship Program. The
experience kicks off with a three-day onboarding session called
"Internatopia" that takes place at Michael Loeb's house in
Southampton, NY. Startup founders
and CEOs present their companies to the students, sharing past
experiences and outlining current strategies. In 2021, much of the
work was done virtually, but interns were able to gain in-person
experience following protocols. The students were also able to
gather at the end of the summer for a modified Internatopia using
the forum as their own high-profile pitch day.
Program administrators do not look for any specific major or
concentration when selecting interns, and growth-minded
undergraduates from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
