Behind the Scenes: How Startups Use Student Talent
Introduction:
Startups are lean, fast, and always in need of fresh perspectives — enter students. What once began as a trend has now become a strategic move: using student talent to drive innovation and scale up without blowing the budget.
Why Students Are a Perfect Fit:
Students bring energy, digital fluency, and fresh ideas. Whether it’s designing a brand identity or creating financial dashboards, they are more adaptable to changing environments and eager to learn. Startups value action over degrees, and students value real exposure.
