The Deluxe E-ternship Program connects early-stage companies and undergraduate students in mutually beneficial collaboration on cross-functional projects. This program provides companies access to new minds and resources through these students, while also providing students with the opportunity to gain first-hand experience working on a high-potential entrepreneurial team. Projects can range from market research to evaluation of new products/services/markets to business planning to support the launch of a new venture. 

Interns are officially employed by UMN, and wages are split between the Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship and the participating company - offering early stage startups access to amazing talent at half the cost of a traditional internships.
