pushpins··on Lightspeed Summer Fellowship: Your Questions Answered
There were a lot of questions and concerns about this (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2380567) in the original post on why LSVP gives away money, office space, etc. in exchange for no equity. John Vronis - who runs the program gives a really good explanation of this here.

They only require 1 person on the team to have a CS-degree. However, if you are a coder (and don't have a CS degree) - you should be fine.

It would be difficult to build a product over the summer if you didn't have someone on the engineering side on the team.

It's more than just the money and the office space, it's also about mentorship.

Each team is given a partner who works with them throughout the summer. The partner helps with intros and getting you in front of the right people, vetting your pitch deck, etc.

They also bring in incredible founders and mentors for lunch each week.

Last year we had: - Liam Casey (PCH) - Dave Lieb (Bump) - Wences Casares (Bling Nation) - Joe Greenstein (Flixster) - Jedidiah Yueh (Delphix) - John Schroeder (MapR) - Max Simkoff (Evolv)

Plus, they ran the best presentation I've seen on fundraising. It was basically the stuff that a VC is thinking, but they will never tell you.

This should help clarify. You need one engineer, but they do not have to be a student.

· Each team must include at least one individual who was a student (graduate or undergraduate) in the 2010-2011 academic school year · At least ONE member of the team must have a degree in Computer Science or Engineering

It honestly is a great way for them to learn about what's going on out there and meet some up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Whether it is this company or the next, it gives them a chance to build a relationship with great founders.

We participated last summer. Being an east coast startup, it gave us the chance to get a great feel for startup life in the Valley, prove out our model, and build a beta version of our iPhone app which we launch in November (www.bit.ly/IHeartPushpins). Most importantly though, I learned more from doing the program than any summer internship I ever had.
