This is actually something we've been thinking about in terms of hiring and culture. Less on an intern basis (though would have same access, just would be shorter period of time) and more on the basis with full time team members. The people we'd want to bring on board should most likely be entrepreneurs, but for some reason aren't ready/want to join a company first.
How can we educate these team members and give them access to all the cool/smart people we meet? Essentially how can being a part of our team, also help get you ready to start your own company in a couple of years?
The greatest companies ala paypal, fb, goog, fairchild,etc. end up spawning a subsequent generation of entrepreneurs. We want that to be built into OnSwipe from day 1 and not a haphazard bi-product.
Really open to some suggestions on the above concept as it's still rough and we're working on it.
If this interests you, email me: j@onswipe.com . We're hiring (front end+back end) and I know we're doing something like this, just figuring out right approach. You can help us shape it.
