How do you get a startup internship?
Startups hire interns differently from big companies. There's rarely a formal programme with one deadline: roles open when a team has a project and someone to mentor, so they appear year-round and close fast. Most are paid, and the work usually ships.
Applications get read by an engineer or a founder rather than a screening team, which makes a short, direct message with proof of work (a project, a repo, something you built) far more effective than a polished CV in a pile.

When do startup internships open?
Larger startups recruit for summer internships from the fall before, in step with big tech. Smaller startups hire year-round, often a few weeks before the start date, so it pays to check often.
Can you get a startup internship with no experience?
Yes, if you can show you can do the work. A project, a GitHub repo or a portfolio piece matters more to a startup than a previous internship or a famous university.
