Ask HN: Any startup looking for a summer intern ?

Judging by the comments, quite a few people in Europe seem to be interested in a summer internship. But we face a shortage of suitable startups in the area.

What do you think of creating our own workplace? Imagine five to ten hackers coming together for a few months. We'd rent a flat, hack together, perhaps do some consulting work to be Ramen sustainable. (No communism implied. We'd go Dutch on the costs.)

After getting to know each other and feeling comfortable, people could split into small teams (three members or so) and create startup-projects, if they want to.

Any thoughts? Please drop me a line at [email protected]

I'd love to but unfortunately an internship is required by my college, and I don't think they'll take it very well...

But you should definitely try it.

In my university they also require an internship. However in reality, all they require is a company stamp and a signature on a piece of paper that says that you did an internship, plus a few pages from you talking about what you did in your internship. There's nothing barring you from incorporating with a bunch of friends, and intern at your own company.

Of course you should do something worthwhile during that internship.
