Hi all, Another team member from SVI (https://svi.io) here. We appreciate your support! Many traditional firms have rescinded or frozen internships this summer because of COVID (https://hbs.me/2wupGz4). Most companies don't realize that top MBA programs like HBS, Stanford, and Columbia will pay for their students to work at startups over the summer (https://www.hireastartupmba.com/...)! Many schools like Harvard have expanded these stipend programs due to COVID. We thought this would be a great way to help startups with the help they need during the crisis when cash is short and students who might otherwise not find an experience to learn from over the summer! (In spite of what some startup people may tell you, MBAs can be quite scrappy!) We'd love to hear your feedback! How can we improve the site to help more startups and students? Who else would find this helpful?

John YS and his team really stepped up to build a simple and accessible platform that connects start-ups / other job-seekers with top-tier talent coming out of MBA programs. In my experience, the platform is easy to navigate and perhaps more comprehensive than what I have seen on Google, LinkedIn, and my MBA program's (HBS) careers site, which speaks volumes about the effort the SVI team is putting in to keep the site up to date. I believe this is creating a lot of opportunities for students seeking job opportunities coming out of graduate school. More importantly, it's providing start-ups and SMBs with a mechanism to hire high-quality, but cheap / often free talent. Amidst the COVID crisis (and even in normal times) MBA programs sponsor students to seek out opportunities at startups, but just don't know where to search - this platform provides a solution. Well done John and team!

@rahul_lakhwani appreciate the support from HBS classmates! For what Rahul is referring to, we've aggregated the MBA stipend programs here for convenient access: https://bit.ly/2020-mba-intern-s.... We realized many students, let alone startups don't know about them!

John is the real deal. This service should definitely be a resource to be strongly considered by startups that can't hire full time employees for whatever reason at this time.

Thanks for the support! @anujadhiya is actually some of the inspiration behind this project and other projects we've been building to do good in the startup community in our down time and spread the word about our software consulting! Grateful to those and the Harvard i-Lab that helped us connect. Also, thanks to @martyhu who also helped suggest this!

Hi, I'm Bryce, one of the team members at Silicon Valley Insight that helped launch Hire a Startup MBA as our way to give back to the world during the COVID pandemic. Hire a Startup MBA is a free site that’s been set up by MBAs for MBAs to help our classmates find internships amid the crisis and help students take advantage of stipend programs at many business schools that apply to working at early stage startups. We launched this to students last week and received applications from HUNDREDS of students that are waiting to work at a special startup just like yours this summer. Don't let COVID keep you down - hire a world class MBA to work with you today!

As an MBA student (NYU Stern) whose internship was cancelled due to COVID repercussions, this site has been a bit of a godsend. The speed with which they got it up, not to mention the clean design -- great work team!

Just hopped on a call with them. It really as good of a deal as it seems. Schools will cover most of the cost and you get great quality interns. No brainer. We signed up.

@danilka thanks for the feedback! We're happy to answer faqs. We realized that some people are skeptical (I was too when I found out about the HBS program), which is why we compiled all the programs we could find together: https://bit.ly/2020-mba-intern-s...

When my internship was canceled due to COVID-19 and I was scrambling to find a summer job, this website was a great resource! I was amazed at the wealth and diversity of opportunities with both startups and big-name companies. Thanks to the team for pulling it together so quickly!
