I couldn’t agree more with this

@BSesser wrote an amazing guide to taking advantage of your time as an NYU or MBA Student. My favorite part in particular is this word of advice:

Look at the recently funded companies from investors like Lerer Ventures, SV Angel, IA Ventures, RRE, Founder Collective, Thrive Capital, etc. across the first semester.  Figure out the one with the most potential (in your opinion, not according to TechCrunch).  Think of 3-4 ways you can add immediate value to their business and aggressively pursue an unpaid internship for the semester.  (When I was a first year this company was GroupMe, and David Lee told me so.  Whoops, should have done this…)
