Happy
#NationalInternDay
to the True Fellows & thank you for your hard work this summer! Since 2009, we've had the honor of helping 170+ students & recent grads begin their startup careers through our fellowship programs, aligning world-class talent with True portfolio companies.
We asked the True Ventures Fellows to share some learnings from their time this summer, and advice they would give to next year’s True Fellows. Here’s what they had to say…
"The most valuable thing I've done at my
#internship
is meeting with people from
@hatchforsleep
1:1. Having personal, meaningful conversations goes a long way to help you feel supported in your role. I will continue to foster these relationships after I leave." -

"As a product management
#intern
at
@directly
, I've enjoyed learning the intricacies of being a
#productmanager
, how to push through roadblocks, and how to implement product frameworks in practice." -

"We're working on testing new content ideas right now, and I got to lead user sessions with
@hatchforsleep
Founder
@anncradyweiss
. It was incredible to learn how she runs human centered research and how she talks about the company and where it's going." - Caroline Ciaramitaro
"Listening to the
#founders
and
#investors
at True has helped me realize that everyone's journey is different and that staying true to your values and who you are, are what's most important." -
