Last summer, we had the pleasure of hosting Mayfield Fellow Nahome Hagos. Nahome joined us as a Data Scientist and we could not imagine a better representative for demonstrating the value of hosting a fellow. The professionalism, independence and integrity that Nahome brought to our organization coupled with access to the broader Mayfield Fellows network provided Pendulum with both tangible and intangible benefits at the team and organization level. We would absolutely recommend the program to other organizations looking for early access to some of the best and brightest students as they begin to enter the workforce.

Being part of the Mayfield Fellows Program was a game changer – hosting Moritz last summer was a truly enriching experience for the Trunk Tools team. Moritz’s ability to blend technical expertise with entrepreneurial thinking made him the perfect product manager on our generative AI product, TrunkText. Moritz was able to leverage the rapidly-changing technology, empathize with our customers, and serve as a mentor to other engineers. I highly recommend the Mayfield Fellows Program to any employer looking for brilliant and talented individuals who can deliver impactful contributions.

Working with Montanna has been an absolute pleasure and a tremendous accelerator on a wide variety of projects for us at FarmWise in marketing, market research, and operations. Her ability and eagerness to jump on any kind of challenge we would throw at her and figure out a way to tackle them was remarkable and extremely helpful. Our team has been continuously impressed with her maturity and skillset.

Last summer, we had the pleasure of hosting Mayfield Fellow Nadine Fattah as a Product Management intern. Nadine was an absolute joy to work with. She jumped in and within a short time was conducting customer interviews and synthesizing important feedback for our team. She quickly picked up not only on our workflows and tools, but brought so much thought and care into tackling our businesses challenges. I would highly recommend the Mayfield Fellows program to other startups and companies looking to engage a group of ambitious problem solvers early in their career.

I found that Chan was an extremely valuable member of the supply chain team during her summer internship with Living Carbon. The scope of work that Chan was able to contribute spanned from ordering to design and we found that her background in product design was such an asset to moving several of our projects along. Some of the work that Chan completed ended up in a physical product that we sent to clients! Overall, we were super happy to have Chan last summer and are excited to see what she does next!

Having Aaron as Cache’s Mayfield Fellow was instrumental across-the-board for our early-stage efforts—he was a pleasure to have as part of the team last summer! Aaron excelled in his core focus of unit economics, engaging with several customers to pressure-test and validate assumptions in the market. From furnishing the office to quantifying our processes, no task was too small to roll up his sleeves and move our organization forward. As technologies continue accelerating industries forward, Mayfield Fellows act as an innovative link to best practices for culture and entrepreneurship in an evolving workforce.

Working with Muhammad Umar Nadeem (“Umar”) as our summer software engineering intern at Roon was a wonderful experience. He blended deep compassion for the patient journey with an understanding of the AI toolchain, communicated with nuance and clarity about the product we were building together, and wrote proof-of-concept code that helped us get a feature launched. He quickly picked up our workflows, and infused everything he did last summer with joy, empathy, and clarity. We’re looking forward to seeing what he does next!
