The most important thing you can do is meet other interns, particularly if, like me, you go to a small school in the middle of nowhere which lacks a homegrown tech scene. There are tons of ways to do that, but the best is to just go to hacker events like hackathons, meetups and the various intern networking events that companies sponsor. Before this summer I knew almost no one else interested in startups or who read hn. Silicon Valley is the center of that universe, and it attracts the best students from all over the country. Nothing is more valuable than taking advantage of that energy. I think Alexey agrees, because he seemed to know every intern in the valley this summer. In all, great advice!
