The Edge Intern program is a warm and genuine approach to developing tomorrow's leaders. I've worked with Francis and his team on a few high profile projects. With little guidance and incredible time constraints - the results were astounding.

A year ago I made the decision to move from Texas to San Francisco to pursue my passion for design and health tech, and I haven't looked back since. Some of my closest friends have come from Edge and I wouldn't be where I am today without the Edge Network and Francis’s help as a mentor.

When I first met Francis, I was skeptical. I remember thinking “Why does this man want to help me or any other person so much? What’s in it for him?” Now I realize; Nothing. Francis has made it his life mission to help others achieve their dreams because he believes every individual has potential.
