SPONSORS
Gundo Grants are $5K housing grants awarded to a select group of interns working at the hardest tech companies in aerospace, defense, robotics, energy, and advanced manufacturing — plus exclusive programming and events throughout the summer.
Applications for Summer 2026 are now closed. Selected applicants will hear back by mid May. Check back next year for Summer 2027.
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.
We give you the funds to secure your own place in LA so you can focus on the work that matters.
Be part of a select group of exceptional engineers from top companies in deep tech.
These are the people you'll still know in ten years. Future co-founders, collaborators, and friends.
Four things we looked for in Summer 2026 applicants.
Freshmen, sophomores, or juniors — rising sophomores through rising seniors by summer 2026.
A signed summer 2026 internship at a deep tech company in LA. Proof of offer required.
The grant is for students moving to LA for the summer. Local students aren't eligible.
Deliberately subjective. We're looking for people who bring both to everything they do.
