Hi Bonnie, 

It was great speaking with you yesterday and learning more about Hack For LA and all the great work the volunteers do.

To recap our conversation;

We offer both remote/ virtual and in-person internships for current university students and recent graduates in London, New York and Singapore. 

On our remote program, almost all of our remote internship programs are paid and the stipends vary from $400 - $4000 p/m, depending on the candidate's academic background and past experiences. 

For our in-person programs, all our internships over 3 months are paid and will pay at least $2200/ £1500/ S$1500 per month and are designed to be financially sustainable for the candidates while they are doing their internships to cover their living expenses. 

We cover all industries except hospitality and medical related internships. 

We would love to work with Hack for LA and would be happy to contribute a % back in donations to the organization, to help as many candidates get into tech as possible.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information from our side. 

Kind Regards, 


Vinay 
CEO/ Co-Founder
