How it works

Three steps between you and a summer that counts.

01 — Apply

Show us what you can build.

A two-hour take-home (reproduce a result, ship a small model) and a technical interview with a senior engineer from a partner company. We accept roughly one in eight.

02 — Match

Meet three companies. Pick one.

We shortlist you to the teams that fit your work. You interview, they interview, and you choose. Offers go out by mid-March.

03 — Build

Twelve weeks on a real roadmap.

Full-time at your company, on a real roadmap, using the AI tools your team builds with. Tuesday speaker series, Thursday open-problem nights with the cohort, and a demo day in front of every partner.

For interns

For students and new grads who'd rather ship than wait.

You're an undergrad or a recent grad in CS, ML, statistics or a nearby field. You can build things that work. You want a summer at a company where your work goes into production, not a slide.

Operator track. Undergrads and recent grads who want product, go-to-market or chief-of-staff work at an AI company, not a bank. Same cohort, same houses.

Pay: Paid directly by your company, at a market rate for the role.
Skills: You learn to build with AI the way the best teams do: on a real roadmap, with the tools your team ships with every day. Not in a classroom.
Housing: A private room in a cohort house, two blocks from transit. Covered by your company.
Cohort: 39 other interns across eight companies. Speakers, open-problem nights, demo day, and an alumni network that starts with you.
Visas: International students and recent grads are welcome. We walk you through CPT (current students) or OPT (recent grads) and the paperwork.
After: Most partners are hiring. The summer is a 12-week interview that you're already passing.

For companies

A first-tier intern class, without a campus recruiting team.

You're hiring ML engineers against the big labs and operators against the banks. We bring you a shortlist ofundergrads and recent grads who've already cleared the bar, match what big tech offers on housing without you running a housing program, and run the cohort. A typical allocation is two engineers and one operator. You interview, choose, and pay only what's below.

Housing

Live with the builders.
