We're looking for exceptional
people (no idea necessary).

We want to get to know you. If you have a technical problem you’re obsessed with solving, that’s great—but it’s not required, and it’s not what we’re evaluating.

You’re ambitious​.

You have lofty goals for your future. You’re not content with the conventional. You want to do something different.

You’re innovative.

You’re constantly solving the problems you see—building productivity hacks, creatively patching up the hole of your dorm room, leading a new initiative to drive change in your school.

You’re relentless​.

Starting a company isn’t always easy and fun. It’s a rocky journey of ups and downs. You have to manage uncertainty and push through discomfort.

We believe the future belongs to
those who can build it.

That’s why we do what we do—bridge the gap between engineering and entrepreneurship.

We work with student engineers to plan and build their careers, from finding the right internship or post-grad job to starting their first company. We help them understand the startup ecosystem and how to think about a path into it—the skills they need to develop, the pace and tailwinds of the market, the intricacies of equity and valuation, the pros and cons of big tech versus small startups, and, when it comes to it, offer negotiation.

We know this experience well. We’ve spent the last 5 years helping young entrepreneurs dissect industries, test early betas, and acquire their first customers—then invest in them.
