Austin, Texas - iStart Valley's High School Internship Program continues to shape the future of young visionaries, with an astounding 97% of its alumni securing admissions to Ivy League and top universities. In 2024, iStart Valley interns repeated their remarkable success, earning spots at Harvard, Yale, Wharton, Cornell, and other prestigious institutions. The program's proven track record extends beyond Ivy League, with students also gaining admissions to top-tier schools such as UC Berkeley, UT Austin, UNC Chapel Hill, and UIUC.

This consistent success underscores the transformational impact of iStart Valley's immersive, entrepreneurial-driven internship, which molds high school students into visionary leaders and future industry disruptors.

A Life-Changing Internship for Future Innovators

The popularity of the program has surged, with applications growing exponentially year after year. Despite thousands of high school students from across the U.S. and internationally-including applicants from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia (EMEA)-only 15-20% are accepted, making it one of the most selective and prestigious high school internship experiences.

Unlike traditional internships, iStart Valley equips students with the mindset and tools to become startup founders. Through an experiential learning approach, students go beyond theoretical knowledge and build real-world businesses. By the end of the program, interns transform from aspiring entrepreneurs into founders, gaining firsthand experience in business building, problem-solving, and leveraging emerging technologies to create AI-driven enterprises.

Turning Ideas into High-Value Startups

iStart Valley interns don't just work on passion projects, they build scalable startups with valuations ranging from $100K to $500K while still in their teens. Guided by Steve Blank's Lean Startup Principles, students develop solutions for real-world problems and turn them into viable businesses.

Beyond the internship, selected student-led startups are invited to compete at the Global Startup Battle, where they pitch against top-performing startups from multiple cohorts. The top six earn the chance to compete on the global stage, gain industry recognition, and win significant prizes, while networking with Silicon Valley strategists, entrepreneurs, and investors.

Expanding Horizons with Leadership & STEM Innovation

Interns also have the exclusive opportunity to join iStart Valley's Leadership Development Program, which equips them with essential leadership skills for the future. Additionally, the program offers advanced STEM opportunities, including certified courses in Space Technology, Research, and AI (STEM.org certified), further enhancing their academic and professional trajectories.
