Applications for Cohort 6 (Fall 2024) of Upstart Interns are coming soon!
Why Upstart? By definition, it’s someone who rises suddenly, springs into existence, or starts up. We think that sounds a lot like a student taking a leap into the dynamic world of startups! When we crowdsourced reactions, our friends and colleagues said that upstart means “new,” “beginning,” “starting out,” “a go-getter,” and “someone who gets things done.” Sounds about right. If you’re an upstart, join us!
