Is this the best internship in the world?

Singaporean social networking startup My Cube is offering 30 foreign students a 3-month paid internship with the best intern getting a $10,000 grant.

Young people ages 16-25 may apply to MyCube's grand internship program. 30 lucky student interns will receive a $3,000 Singapore dollar stipend, free round-trip airfare to Singapore, and paid housing for the six weeks, from 4 July to 12 August.

MyCube (www.mycube.com) is a social networking startup based in Singapore founded in late 2009. This internship program they offer will provide the selected members with training in company formation, fundraising, product development, marketing, financial management and more. Interns will attend lectures from internet and business experts, work on real-life case studies and new business ideas, and get significant hands-on work experience.

According to Amelie Hellners, the intern program coordinator, the top performing intern will receive a $10,000 Singapore dollar grant to further their studies or start their own company, and four runner-ups will have an all-expense paid trip to Ideas Island in the Philippines for one week of brainstorming and relaxation. After the program, interns will become MyCube “ambassadors” to their home country and may attend lectures, conferences and other events sponsored by MyCube, as well as serve as mentors to future participants of the program.

The application deadline is 5 June and the selected students will be contacted by 10 June.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
