Vetted Talent
Connecting
The Seed List is dedicated to connecting college students with innovative local companies in the Raleigh-Durham area. We offer a mentored summer internship experience, connections to school-year internship and project work, and career resources.
We accept applications on a rolling basis for both interested students and potential partners.
We envision The Seed List as more than just a matching tool; it’s a movement to:
Develop Talent: By providing a launchpad for skilled students to gain invaluable experience and grow their professional network locally.
Accelerate Startup Growth: By giving them access to diverse, motivated, and highly skilled professionals who can drive innovation and solve real-world problems.
Strengthen the Ecosystem: By fostering meaningful connections that fuel the RTP community's reputation as a global hub for talent and entrepreneurship.
Promote Inclusion: Engaging students and founders from underrepresented backgrounds in entrepreneurial innovation.
The Seed List is our commitment to creating opportunities that matter —for people, for businesses, and for the region as a whole.
