Mission

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.

FAQ

Internship dates will be negotiated directly between the fellow and the Susa portfolio company. The fellowship programming will run from mid-June to mid-August.

Some internship opportunities will be remote, and others will be in-person (SF/Bay, NYC and LA). The fellowship programming will be remote, though we hope to be able to host some in-person socials.

This opportunity is open to students studying in the US & Canada.

Once applications are reviewed, a small number of applicants will be selected for semi-final interviews (virtual). Selected finalists will then move on to interviews with Susa Ventures portfolio companies, who will determine if an offer will be made. Compensation and internship dates will be negotiated directly with the Susa portfolio company, and upon acceptance, the intern will also be a part of the Susa Summer Fellows Program.
