Is this a paid opportunity?

Yes! Students receive competitive compensation for their work.

What kind of projects will I work on?

Projects will vary but may include things like: building new features, improving existing products, or doing discovery research for early-stage startups. You'll work in a cross-functional team with other students who bring complementary skills.

What support will I receive?

You'll have regular mentorship from The List team, access to workspace at American Underground, and guidance from your matched startup. We also provide orientation training and weekly check-ins.
