KPCB received 2500 applications from students attending university in the USA. The students submitted background information on their experiences in software development/computer science and were given a challenge question that assessed their technical ability. From there successful candidates moved onto a semi-final round where they were interviewed by an engineer from one of the KPCB portfolio companies. Successful semifinalists moved onto a final round involving a mutual selection and interview process at which time the winners received offers directly from the companies.
