I look for three things in a new hire / intern: (1) sense of humor (I hate hanging around with boring people); (2) pursues interesting hobbies/art/sports outside work; (3) dreams big.

I always look for interns that are HUNGRY. So basically what Justin said above. Make sure that their passion and interest are the motivating reason for getting involved with your startup. Stephen Fiedler 1 year ago

An intern's most important quality is how pro-active they are to get the job done
