HOw much should startups in incubator stage pay interns?
- johnm 16y agoWhat kind of interns? Engineering or something else?
- fourk 16y agoThis is highly dependent on the location, as well as, to a slightly lesser extent, what type of intern they are. However, I think this might give you a good starting point: Rent + lunch and dinner in the office + $100-400/mo.
- mindcrime 16y agoInterns? Just give them pizza for lunch and dinner, and enough money to eat fish 'n chips or curry on the weekends; and provide 'em all the beer they can drink. But make it decent beer at least...
- Zev 16y agoWhere are you located? Where did you find the intern? Whats the internship in? Given the best-case scenario, what do you expect from the intern? Do you possibly want to keep the intern on in the future?
- vantran 16y agoIf you expect interns to do meaningful work, you should pay them something. It does not have to be money. Room and board is a great starting point. Is it full time internship? Then either add a small stipend or at least feed them Beer is also a great motivator too. In general, have a fully stocked fridge and your intern will come to work happy and more likely to produce great stuffs.
- 10smom 16y agoOk I have a beautiful Ski resort home to offer and also will be traveling to tech conference to hopefully present working protoype. I mostly need an intern for Programming but would be nice if had other basic skills. I am also hiring freelancer to handle the major programing needed to complete the protype. . So I think the intern would like this opportunity. I guess I need to start posting on college boards. I think I will do the room and board and $500 month to draw good talent. Definitely plan to use my location as a drawing card. Thanks for all the great comments
