Optimizing Your Startup Job Search

Landing a role at a startup can be quite different than doing so at a more traditional company. Good things come to those that can highlight a body of relevant work and take a thoughtful, targeted and passionate approach when pursuing opportunities. Here are five past articles offering our advice for doing so:

Entrepreneurial Programs with Opportunities for You

Here are a number of leading industry entrepreneurial programs that offer opportunities to join specific startups or accelerate the development of your own (if you're a founder). Please note the upcoming deadlines.
KPCB Design & Product Fellows
Over the course of a summer, KPCB Design Fellows join a Kleiner Perkins portfolio company, where they develop their design skills and are mentored by an executive within the company. Participants in the new Product Fellows program will get the chance to spend a full year working at a Silicon Valley startup. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 31.

True Entrepreneur Corp (TEC)
The TEC program brings undergraduates from across the country to the San Francisco Bay area to spend the summer with True's portfolio companies and learn firsthand what it’s like to work at a startup. Geared for students interested in technology and startups, 2016 TEC Fellows must be members of the undergraduate classes of 2017 or 2018 and be eligible to work in the United States. All participants will receive a stipend of $8,000 upon the completion of the summer program. Deadline is Jan. 31, 2016.



Lightspeed Summer Fellowships
For student teams working on a startup, Lightspeed Venture Partners offers summer fellowships to support entrepreneurship and innovation among highly motivated engineering and CS students. Each selected team will receive $5K per team and $15K per team member, mentoring by one of Lightspeed’s investment professionals, and office space in Menlo Park, CA. Fellows are under no obligation to Lightspeed, and Lightspeed receives no equity as part of the program. Round 1 applications close Jan. 15 and Round 2 on Mar. 15.




The Cybersecurity Factory
The Cybersecurity Factory is a summer program for academics to launch security startups. Run out of Cambridge, MA, the program is open to early-stage technical startups, preferably with at least one co-founder who is currently in a graduate program or has completed a graduate degree in a field related to the startup focus. Selected teams receive $20,000, office space, mentorship and access to a network of entrepreneurs and investors interested in security companies. The Early application deadline is Feb. 26 with the Regular deadline on Mar. 21.

Global EIR Program for International Entrepreneurs
Are you a graduating international student and a founder of a tech/life sciences startup that has raised initial outside capital? Now you can both stay in the country and accelerate the launch of your business. The Global Entrepreneur in Residence (GEIR) program can help select immigrant entrepreneurs stay in the U.S. and continue to build their startup companies in Boston. Learn more here.
