Great article, though it was quite painful to read. I'm glad going in I knew she only stayed 5 days. I'm confused why people would take an unpaid, bring-your-own-computer internship as opposed to building something themselves. Especially if you've got some experience. If you can afford to not get paid for a while, you might aswell have the pleasure of working on your own idea. Even with zero coding skills you can put something decent together in 2 months - that's at least portfolio worthy. You even save on Subway fare! I guess it's meant to be about working in a well managed team and learning from experienced people & maybe hopping onboard to something big. All things that this startup was lacking in. As a collective, those interns could work together and launch something better, faster than 'Bob' will. What's he chasing more investment for anyway? If he can't get something together on $500k (beyond social media fluff) then what's it going to take? It's the opposite of lean. The full-fat wasteful startup.
