| Hi Daniel,
My name is Andy Chen and I am a partner at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers (KPCB), where we’ve helped build world changing companies like Google, Nest, Square Genentech, Twitter, Amazon, and many new startups. KPCB has always been interested in finding the best young talent on university campuses and NYU: Tisch School of the Arts has so many amazing students that we would like to engage with.
Six years ago, we launched a program called the KPCB Fellows Program (www.kpcbfellows.com). The program offers outstanding college students an opportunity to gain significant experience developing their design skills all while being mentored by a company executive at startups like Coursera, Flipboard, Slack and many others. This month, we’ve opened up our design Fellows application on kpcbfellows.com and wanted to seek out your help in finding the best young designers for the program. It would be great if you could let your students know about the KPCB Fellows program and encourage them to apply on our website as well as pass the opportunities onto the appropriate campus departments.
Applications will close on January 31, 2017. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at achen@kpcb.com.
As the Chair of ITP of NYU: Tisch School of the Arts, I was wondering if you’d be able to send an email to students encouraging them to apply to the program:
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (www.kpcb.com), a world-leading venture capital firm located in Silicon Valley, just announced that they are now accepting applications for the 2017 KPCB Design Fellows Program and we’d like to share this opportunity with you.
The KPCB Fellows Program offers top college students an opportunity to gain significant experience working on unique and challenging technical, design and product problems. Over the course of a summer, Fellows are employed at up-and-coming Silicon Valley startups, are mentored by executives within the company and invited to attend events with industry CEOs, leaders and executives. Fellows have worked at companies like Square, Nest, Airbnb, Pinterest, Flipboard, Coursera, Indiegogo and many others.
