Looking for a summer internship or full-time role? We’ve built something to make finding one a little easier!

The CUVCPE Platform helps Cambridge students and alumni connect directly with startups and VC funds looking for talent. Many startups use internships as a pathway to full-time hiring, making this a great opportunity not only for students, but also for graduates looking to break into the startup ecosystem.

How it works:

1.⁠ ⁠Create your profile by uploading your CV, builder’s portfolio, and a short video introduction.
2.⁠ ⁠Startups browse profiles based on the skills they’re looking for and reach out directly to candidates who stand out.
3.⁠ ⁠Founders can send personalised video questions, giving you the chance to showcase more than what’s written on your CV.

We’re excited to share that 33 startups and VC funds have already joined the platform.

It takes around 15 minutes to set up your profile, and it could lead to your next internship, startup role, or even a full-time opportunity down the line.
