Recruiting for Startups
Startup Recruiting Outside of Harvard
There are many resources and opportunities outside of Harvard for students who are interested in getting into the startup sphere.
Startup Incubators are one amazing outside resource. Incubators help entrepreneurs grow their startups by providing them funding, mentorship, connecting entrepreneurs with angel investors and much more. Examples of startup incubators include the Mozilla Incubators Program, the Cloudfare Fund, the YC Incubator, and much more.
The Recruiting Timeline
There is no timeline or typical job search process for entrepreneurs or people looking to work for a startup. Startups are always hiring new team members throughout the course of the entire year. Moreover, the recruiting process varies across startups, but in general most startups’ recruiting process consists of a resume submission and an interview. Many startups also value people who take initiative and outreach to them.
Diversity Programs
Although startups themselves do not typically offer diversity programs, there are many funds and incubators that focus on supporting startups that have founders and/or a team who come from marginalized communities or startups who focus on addressing issues that primarily affect marginalized communities. Examples include the CTA diversity fund, the Harvard LiFT Capital Fund, and much more.
