In its second year, Summer@Highland is designed to provide selected student entrepreneurs with the environment and resources for advancing their business initiative.

Selected teams in the Summer@Highland program each receive a financial stipend and the opportunity to spend the summer with Highland, either at the firm’s Lexington, Massachusetts or Menlo Park, California office. The teams will have access to Highland investment professionals along with further resources for injecting real-world advice, insight and perspectives into the entrepreneurial and company-building process.

Summer@Highland is open to undergraduate and graduate students, including those individuals that will graduate in 2008. Highland invites student teams to apply online at www.hcp.com/summer. Applications will be accepted through April 22, 2008.

In this podcast, listen to Highland's Michael Gaiss and Paragon Lake's Matt Lauzon (2007 Summer participant) discuss the program and its benefits.
