The Startup Consulting Program provides MBA students with an experiential learning opportunity serving as consultants to early-stage startup companies. Through these consulting projects, students are offered the chance to hone their skills in entrepreneurship and startup development through hands-on work while simultaneously expanding their entrepreneurial network of startup founders, advisors, and management teams.
The program is designed in such a way that you can choose from different project that are sent your way to choose from. The duration of the projects can range from 2 weeks strategy development to a 6-month technology consultation project. You work part-time or during your free time (or weekends, if you wish to).
We do not limit your scope to local companies. We try to provide you with as much exposure as possible. You may be living in Kansas but work remotely for a startup in San Francisco.
If you are a student currently, you are eligible. It’s that simple.
Only thing we ask for is your honest excitement about the project and a minimum of 10 hours per week of commitment over the entire project duration.
Work in short term projects across varied disciplines and explore different career opportunities. Make the best career decision upon graduation!
Apply classroom knowledge in real-world projects and learn the transferable skills essential to success
You want to make a career in consulting or startups or anything else, you get the opportunity to develop the required skills and increase the marketability to employers when recruiting.
Develop lifelong network of professionals. Fostering professional connections can be useful for anything from career advice to a job recommendation.
I had an exciting time consulting for a fintech startup in Los Angeles, and learnt a lot in the process. I probed areas for growth and came up with creative strategies that were, eventually, implemented by the team.
