The Summer Startup Experience

Now Accepting Applications for Interns

Enhance your education, cultivate your entrepreneurial mindset and leadership skills, and strengthen your professional networks, all while helping advance a UArizona startup.

We will seek to match you with a university startup. If selected, you will work with the company to prepare an Internship Agreement that will set forth expectations for you and your startup team, and youâll be off and running!

“Through my summer startup experience, I was encouraged to face challenges to escalate my skill set in a growing company, building technology and processes new to the industry. I had the opportunity to learn industry standards while discovering what direction I want to take my personal career path.”

– Emmet Gormican, MIS graduate student at the Eller College of Management, paired with UArizona startup Caltrode
