GUNDO GRANTS

We remove the biggest barrier to saying yes.

We award 10 exceptional interns a $5K housing grant so they can secure their own place anywhere in LA. We then bring them together through curated programming and events all summer — creating the conditions for organic cross-pollination across companies.

01

$5K housing grant

We give you the funds to secure your own place in LA so you can focus on the work that matters.

02

Curated cohort

Be part of a select group of exceptional engineers from top companies in deep tech.

03

Cross-company network

These are the people you'll still know in ten years. Future co-founders, collaborators, and friends.

ELIGIBILITY

Who it's for.

Four things we look for. If that's you, apply.

01

Current undergrad

Freshmen, sophomores, or juniors — rising sophomores through rising seniors by summer 2026.

02

Confirmed offer

A signed summer 2026 internship at a deep tech company in LA. Proof of offer required.

03

Relocating to LA

The grant is for students moving to LA for the summer. Local students aren't eligible.

04

Excellence & integrity

Deliberately subjective. We're looking for people who bring both to everything they do.
