This is the last week of my summer internship at Forex social network Currensee (www.currensee.com), so I thought I’d write down some reflections on the experience.

I was hoping for a great first experience into the start-up world, more particularly into the world of internet software start-ups. What I got was just that: a fun, fulfilling, and interesting experience at this growing start-up. Here is the pic of the team: I was a Product Management Intern for the summer, working for...
