Startable – Healy Jones’ & Prasad Thammineni’s Blog

Dharmesh Shah recently made it abundantly clear that the developer hiring wars have reached the East Coast in his massive bounty for new developer hires at his company, Hubspot.

I just heard of an interesting NYC program called the Turning Fellowship that aims to bring new developer talent to New York City. A couple of venture firms appear to be spearheading this effort; PE Hub quoted one of them as saying, “Entrepreneurs complain about a lack of talent in New York City.” No kidding! There is a lack of great development talent everywhere!

Anyways, the program sounds like a good idea, as it will provide students with programming skills paid internships at NYC startups. This could provide very positive experiences to students looking to gain some real-life skills (and help them figure out if they want to join startups when they graduate too!)

Anyone know of other programs like this in Boston?
