What do Klout, Zynga, Groupon, Erly and Chegg all have in common? They are portfolio companies of Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, one of the most successful Venture Capital firms in Silicon Valley. And they are all part of the newly established KPCB Engineering Fellows program that looks to identify 25 of the top engineering students in the country and offer them a once in a lifetime summer internship.
Re-Engineer Your Future:
Aside from letting you apply to 25 of the most elite tech companies in one swoop, the KPCB Fellowship gives aspiring engineers experience, contacts, and a level of understanding of the engineering world that is truly unique.
There are 4 keys to the program:
1.) Challenging Projects: Fellows are matched with top tech companies and given large-scale technical problems to solve.
2.) Mentorship: Fellows will receive direct mentorship, from some of the best technical minds in the world.
3.) Events and Speakers: Fellows get invited throughout the summer to special Kleiner Perkins events, ranging from Hack-a-thons to speakers.
4.) Compensation: Not only does the position pay very well, KPCB will also help with relocation guidance and other cool benefits.
Given that KPCB partners include Al Gore, former Secretary of the State, Colin Powell and business luminaries like Bing Gordon – you can imagine that the speakers will be both broad reaching and fascinating.
All in all, the KPCB fellowship allows students to pursue internships at some of the most amazing startups, without having to fear that they are missing out on the compensation, the education or the brand name recognition that an internship at Microsoft or Facebook might offer.
