But I'll be honest - I have very little work experience. Neither do most other summer interns. Don't worry about it. The benefit of an internship is skewed in your favor and not the companies; you get to learn (and gain work experience that you need). Depending on where you are, you might be working on an important product, but, it isn't expected that you'll be as productive as a full-time engineer is. The real benefit that a company gets from having interns is that its basically a two or three month hiring process. If it goes well, you'll be able to another internship with them next summer and/or possibly get a job offer at the end of college. Practically everyone out there is looking for smart people to hire. If you want to intern at a startup, find one you like and make yourself known. Send them an email with your resume attached and a quick note. At the very least, you'll get a real response from someone (rather than a canned one, or none at all).
