Subject: [cs-ugrads] Microsoft internships
To: “cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu” <cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu>
Microsoft has let us know that some students (not at UW, as far as they are aware) have received spam emails coming from a server in the Czech Republic telling them that their Microsoft summer internships have been cancelled.
TOTALLY BOGUS. Nobody’s Microsoft summer internship has been cancelled!

Please stop by and chat. The team will be at a table in the Atrium. This is an opportunity to talk with a rep from a local venture capital firm to discuss entrepreneurship, your startup idea, or just make a connection.
About Voyager Capital:
Voyager Capital is the leading seed and first-round technology venture firm in the Pacific Northwest, managing $400 million in institutional capital in four funds. With offices in Menlo Park, Portland, and Seattle, Voyager’s investment partners begin working with entrepreneurs at the earliest of stages, as their first institutional investor and board member. We strongly prefer to work with co-founding CEO’s who can scale all the way through an exit, whether that be IPO or M&A. Our past 70 investments range from cloud and core technology, to digital media and enterprise SaaS. We initially invest as little as $500k and over time continue to support our largest and most successful investments with as much as $5-7 million of equity capital. Several of the startups we led first round investments for are now at scale and readying for IPOs including Act-On Software (marketing SaaS), ChargePoint (EV charging network software) and Elemental Technologies (software-defined video processing). Our most recent investments include Ayla Networks (IoT platform), Lytics.io (big data), SkyWard.io (aerial robotics software), and Wise.io (machine learning). Over the lifecycle of an investment, Voyager partners with some of the most respected VC’s in Boston and Silicon Valley such as General Catalyst Partners, North Bridge Venture Partners, Norwest Venture Partners and Technology Crossover Ventures.

The CSE dept. is interested in hearing your feedback on company recruiting behavior this year. We’ve heard both good and bad, and would like to capture this in a survey so we can give generalized feedback to the companies to help improve the process in the future. If you are willing to share your experiences, please fill out this brief survey.
If you prefer to come in to chat with us in person, please feel free to come to dropins, or make an appointment. For the in person meetings, however, you might want to wait until registration calms down in a couple of weeks, as dropins are pretty crazy busy right now. Please gives us feedback before you leave for spring break.

Registration will remain open through 9:00 am next Monday, February 2nd. Students will be informed of their interview time and (hopefully) interviewing company via email by the end of the day Monday. I will inform all students who were not able to get interviews via email on Monday as well.
