For universities

Your students are already building. Put it on the record.

Founders find talent, students get real work, and every deal is on the record.

Why it fits

An internship pipeline that does not depend on outside employers.

Your student founders hire their classmates. The work, the compliance and the record all stay on campus.

Experiential learning at scale

Student founders and student talent supply each other, so there is no employer pipeline to maintain.

Built to stay compliant

Students join as contractors on paid projects, or work for credit through programmes you already run.

Protects student ownership

Clear IP guidance, so students keep what they build instead of signing it away by accident.

Less risk, more visibility

The informal campus handshake economy becomes documented and standardised, with a written dispute process.

Work for every department

Project work across engineering, design, business and law, not just computer science.

Real students only

School email verification keeps out the scams that affect open marketplaces.

How a pilot works

A low risk way to try it.

01

Find a faculty champion

A sponsor in your entrepreneurship centre hosts the pilot under a programme you already run.

02

Run a small closed pilot

A free, semester long cohort of up to ten student startups, on your terms and in your setting.

03

Loop in clinic and tech transfer

Your law clinic reviews the agreements. Your tech transfer office signs off on IP.

04

See the results, then decide

We report matches made, projects shipped, students engaged and disputes avoided.

For your counsel

The six questions your counsel will ask.

The short version. We are happy to walk your team through any of it in detail.

Labour

Students are contractors on real projects, or they earn credit. Never unpaid labour.

Securities

Each startup follows its own rules for paying people in equity. The platform issues nothing and brokers nothing.

Tax

Standard templates, and a reminder before the deadline.

IP

Guidance that respects your institution's own policy, with tech transfer sign-off where it is needed.

Course credit

Your faculty awards credit through the structures you already run. The platform sources projects and tracks work.

Data

We never sell or monetise cap table or student data, and we never contact a startup's investors.

Questions

Common questions.

Who awards academic credit?

Your faculty does, through structures you already have, such as independent study and capstones. The platform sources projects and tracks the work. It never awards credit.

Is this compliant?

It is built to be. Students join as contractors. Each startup follows its own rules for equity, and IP guidance respects your own policy.

Does this create liability for the university?

Our aim is to reduce it. An informal economy that already exists becomes documented and standardised, with a written dispute process.

Do you take equity in student companies?

No. Students keep what they build.

What does a pilot cost?

Nothing. We ask for a faculty champion and a small cohort. Licensing is a later conversation, once a pilot has proven its worth.
