This is awesome. When I was in college (1986-1990) internships were a pretty new concept. Then when in MBA (1997-1998) it obviously became a bigger deal. But now, the practice is very much becoming the norm. But, the tools for students and companies to find one another are still archaic (school recruiting systems... and afterthoughts on Monster, etc).

Plus, it's just as important for companies to provide killer internships (to get the best students, year after year) as it is for students to perform.

It's an ideal way to recruit, and find great companies, and a space ripe for innovation and investment.

Very excited to see what the team comes up with (and yes, I'm a fan and advisor -- my enthusiasm runs deep, and is very genuine)
