NYCEDC launches request for proposals to operate New York City startup and venture capital internship programs

New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) today announced the launch of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to source one or more operators for the New York City Startup and Venture Capital (VC) Internship Programs, which consists of two workforce development programs, the continuation of the NYC Startup Internship, and the addition of the NYC VC Internship. These programs will support tech-enabled startups and VC firms in New York City with capacity to host interns, grow their teams, and strengthen their businesses, while developing equitable and efficient talent pipelines in New York City’s tech sector. The programs will provide students, with a focus on CUNY students, with the resources, professional development, and training needed for career success.

This RFP seeks one or more qualified organizations to operate annual cohorts of the New York City Startup and VC Internship programs with student placements beginning in Summer 2025.

New York City Economic Development Corporation is a mission-driven, nonprofit organization that works for a vibrant, inclusive, and globally competitive economy for all New Yorkers. We take a comprehensive approach, through four main strategies: strengthen confidence in NYC as a great place to do business; grow innovative sectors with a focus on equity; build neighborhoods as places to live, learn, work, and play; and deliver sustainable infrastructure for communities and the city's future economy.
