Hello ACM,
I was asked to forward information about this program in New York City called HackNY. It looks like it involves working with NYC startups.

Subject: hackNY.org doubles Fellows program, opens second round of applications
To: acm-stu-ch...@acm.org
On behalf of Evan Korth, faculty sponsor of the NYU ACM Student Chapter:
Dear Student:
I'm writing to announce that, thanks to an outpouring of support from the local
community here in NYC this spring, hackNY will be able to *double* the size of
the program and we're re-opening applications, on a rolling admission basis,
for the summer Fellow program. You may also have seen this announcement
covered in the press, e.g.,:
"HackNY Doubles Effort To Match Top Tech Students With NYC Startups"
http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/01/hackny-2d-year-expansion/
"Mayor Bloomberg Smiles Upon HackNY"
http://www.observer.com/2011/tech/mayor-bloomberg-smiles-upon-hackny .
The hackNY Fellows program is an initiative to mentor the next generation of
technology innovators, focusing on tech startups. Last year's class of Fellows
( http://bit.ly/2010fellows ) was paired with NYC startups which demonstrated
they could provide a mentoring environment (a clear project, a person who could
work with the Fellow, and sufficient stability to commit to 10 weeks of
compensation for the Fellow). hackNY, with the support of the Kauffman
foundation and the Internet Society of New York, provided shared housing in NYU
dorms in Union Square, and organized a series of evenings designed to teach
Fellows all they would need to know --- but won't be learning in traditional
curricula --- to join a tech startup and eventually to found their own.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate proficiency in coding, in any language
of your choosing, and a desire to find out more about NYC's rapidly-growing
tech startup ecosystem. We strive to find excellent placements in a variety of
fields, including front end (e.g., web development), back end (e.g., data
science http://bit.ly/DataSci ), and UIUX (user interface and user experience).
Admissions are rolling and we encourage students to apply as soon as they can
submit the above information.
Apply via: http://hackNY.org/a/students .
For information about last year's program, we encourage you to skim the list of
activities from last year ( http://bit.ly/hackny2010recap ), which includes
links to many of the blog entries, the testimonials from all of the 2010 Fellows
(http://hackny.org/a/2011/01/testimonials-from-the-2010-class-of-hackny-fellows/ ),
or to consult the ``press" page at hackNY.org for coverage in the media
about the summer Fellows program as well as our once-per-semester
hackathons (including our upcoming hackathon April 9-10!!!).
Please don't hesitate to email info at hackNY.org with any questions, or to
contact us individually:
