Ycombinator just posted a list of Summer 2026 internships at some of our top AI companies, and I wanted to share to any students who were excited about startups, AI and talking to customers:

At a startup, interns work directly with experienced entrepreneurs at fast-growing companies that are building the future in AI. Get hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology, contribute to meaningful projects, and learn what it takes to build a successful startup from the inside. (Many interns have gone on to start their own companies and join YC as founders.)
