What is START Academy?
The START Academy program connects international students and companies within the European Startup system for a project-based internship. It is flexible, goal-oriented and simple.
Haven’t you ever wanted to experience the startup life but didn’t have any entry point? This is your chance. Find infinite projects in diversity, offered by any kind of player within the Startup system. And the program is designed to be combinable with your studies.
International
Find companies from all across Europe to apply for. Every Project offered by those companies can be completed completely remotely.
Flexible
We all got a lot to do for university, but we encourage you to at least make 15h/week time (preferably more during break) to really leave an impact.
Project oriented
This isn't going to be one of those classic internships. At the Academy we let companies define the project first. This way you can start right away and you know you'll contribute meaningfully.
Why START Academy?
Good question…
… but without promising too much…
…theres probably no simpler,
nor more flexible way to experience Startup Mentality….
… so… why not try?
