You might think that a typical internship involves a young, inexperienced college student making copies all summer long. That is not the case here with our Innovation Fund entrepreneurs. They have found, recruited, and often times kept, some of the most talented students around Northeast Ohio. And these students get some of the best and most innovative projects, along with priceless hands-on experiences. I've complied a quick list of the type of students Innovation Fund companies are hiring as interns and the kind of projects those interns are taking on. Hopefully this list will get you thinking about the true value of these eager workers. You can also read my previous blog post, How to Help Startup Interns Get the Best Experience, for advice on making the most of both your and the intern's time.
