Money is not the only benefits a company can provide. Will they be doing meaingful work? Do you have smart people working at the company already that they can learn from on a daily basis? Are you in a new and exciting industry that interns would find any domain knowledge valuable? Do you have other contacts that would be beneficial for them?<p>If you can't pay market wages for interns, that's fine. Just know that you will have to compensate them in some other way. And at the very least, cover their housing.<p>*College student who has does unpaid internships before and still found them satisfying. Also, I am looking for development experience, so please contact me!
