Today, we’re excited to announce our eight summer interns at 25madison. The program has yielded many of our full-time team members: Merrill Anovick, Grant Silow, Rebekah Foster, & Alex Toporek. Our interns have also gone on to start companies that make it into our portfolio (shoutout to Noah Gray, CEO of Onda). The program has also made introductions to our incubation leadership: Ben Putzer is now an early employee at Cuely. We love it when our interns join the 25madison family on a more permanent basis!
Our interns jump right in! They work closely on our internal incubations, gain exposure to our studio and venture investing arms, do independent deep dives on industries we’re interested in, and sometimes even arrive at their own incubation ideas. We believe the 25madison Intern Program is unique in the opportunity it affords our interns to gain experience in all our ecosystem’s activities: building, operating, and investing.
