We think that the Summer Fellowship program is pretty cool, but don’t take our word for it. Here’s what previous fellows had to say about their experience:

Unsurprisingly, having a Lightspeed mentor was high on the list of things they enjoyed most: “Peter and Andrew provided us with lots of good feedback that helped us understand how we should think to convince an investor to work with us.” “The advice and connections John provided were extremely valuable for fleshing out our ideas.” “Barry was incredibly useful.” “Jeremy was just amazing at every step! He opened up his Rolodex for us and wasn’t shy about being available for anything 24/7.”

Fellows loved getting to know each other, too: “It was extremely stimulating and fun to be working alongside young entrepreneurs in different fields but with similar ambitions and problems.” “Working with other start-ups helped us get feedback on a lot of our ideas very quickly from very serious, intelligent, and motivated people.” “I also made some very good friends and shared some good times inside and outside of the office.” “I’m positive I’ll keep in close contact with lots of the people I met this summer.”

And they raved about the office space: “This was invaluable for helping our team get stuff done.” “Having everything set-up and ready to go was very convenient. I didn’t have to take time out to get snacks, or call IT when the phone or internet went down. Everything was ready.” “It was wonderful to have our own room, as I felt it really helped us concentrate and work quickly.” “It sounds silly, but the quality of the office space and the food and drinks are important when you’re in the office from 10am to 2am every day!”
