Real startups. Real work. Actually getting paid.
Build for founders on your campus and get rewarded for it, in cash, equity, or course credit. You're a paid contractor, not an unpaid intern, with a clear agreement and your equity tracked for you.
The experience employers want, plus an upside most internships never give you.
Work on real products for real campus startups. Pick how you get rewarded, sign one clear agreement, and keep what you earn, whether that's cash, equity that vests, or credit toward your degree.
Get paid your way
Cash, equity, or course credit. The reward and the exact terms are right there before you start, never a surprise.
Work worth putting on a résumé
Ship real things for real startups and build a portfolio that beats one more line on a CV.
Looked after, not taken advantage of
You sign on as a paid contractor with a clear contract, and cash is held safely until your work is approved.
Own a piece of the upside
Equity vests as you contribute and is tracked for you, with a reminder before the tax deadline so you never miss it.
Private by default
Your profile is visible only to people you choose to connect with, never your professor, your boss, or the open internet.
Works for your situation
If cash work is tricky for you, the credit and equity paths may fit. We'll help you figure out what works.
From profile to paid, in four steps.

Do the work, get paid
Cash is released when your work's approved, equity vests and is tracked for you, or credit comes through your program.
"Students should get real startup experience and real upside, with a contract that protects them, not a handshake they regret."
What "paid contractor" really means.
Being a contractor keeps you out of the unpaid-intern trap, but it's not the same as being a full employee. So we build in the protections that count: a clear written agreement before you start, cash held safely until your work's approved, and a path to a campus law clinic if something goes sideways. We're not a law firm, and this isn't legal advice.
Talent FAQ.
Can my professor, boss, or classmates see my profile?
No. You're only visible to people you choose to connect with, never the open internet.
How do I actually get paid?
For cash projects, the money is held safely and released when your work is approved. Equity vests over time and is tracked for you. Credit is awarded by faculty through your program.
Am I an employee?
You join as a contractor on a specific project. That comes with a clear contract, but it isn't the same as employment, and we're upfront about what that does and doesn't include.
What if the founder goes quiet?
We design against ghosting: clear timelines, a status on every application, and a way to escalate. Cash is held safely, so a stalled founder doesn't cost you your pay.
Is it live yet?
We're running early pilots with a few campuses. Book a demo or get in touch to join an early group.
Want this at your school?
Tell us where you study and what you build. We'll set up a demo and let you know when an early group opens on your campus.
