Is there a playbook for leveraging interns as a remote tech startup? is it worth the effort/time invested - how have you made it it work, if at all?

I worked a lot with interns. Very challening. Wrote a few guides a while back. Here's some of what I found. Happy to chat more about it if interested https://alpeworkspace.notion.site/Intern-On-boarding-notes-4ddd3db509c54e13b8e54a77fdffe00b?pvs=4

High variance, low EV pre-pmf imo Better to hire a full-time junior employee

Unless you are a big company that needs a pipeline of talent, interns are usually you doing someone else a favor.

As a former recruiter, unless you find someone really bright AND you’re willing to put in the time to mentor them, it’s not worth it

training & managing interns takes up a whole lot of bandwidth that i can’t afford to lose, probably only makes sense to me >20 headcount

Yes and no. Depends completely on the intern you hire in my experience. You have to give them a lot of attention, especially at first. Figure out a pair coding situation that works for you and see how they progress. Don’t do it if your goal is getting work done for cheap, it’s almost never cheaper.

I’ve seen people be a lot more successful with Eastern European or LATAM remote eng than interns, if you’re trying to optimize costs.
