Fellows Program Partnership

Each year Code2040 partners with a select group of tech companies to host Code2040 Fellows as technical interns. Companies who partner with us receive hiring support from our Code2040 staff, participate in anti-racist manager training and receive crucial data and feedback from interns on their experience working in their company.

Please fill out the form below with your contact information, confirmation of your company's eligibility to partner, and a bit about why your company is seeking partnership with Code2040.

Given the amount of inquiries that we receive, Code2040 is prioritizing relationship building with those who provide thoughtful form responses and meet all of the criteria listed below. Thank you!

Note: We take on a limited number of Venture Capital Company partners per year. All new VCs will be automatically waitlisted until current VCs confirm their desire to renew their existing partnership.
