How long is the timeline to collaboration?

We can move fast and sometimes launch within days. Please check our event calendar first. If you want to join a specific event, contact us as early as possible so we can plan it with you.

How can we recruit START members?

Partners get exclusive access to our talent pool through dedicated recruiting events, curated CV database access of consenting community members and event attendees, and priority placement on our job board. You can also host office tours and info sessions.

What events can partners sponsor?

Partners can sponsor flagship formats like Road to START Summit, START Sprint, workshops, networking nights, and more. Reach out and we'll find or build the right format together.

What is the partnership duration?

Depending on your goals, partnerships can be event-specific or long-term, for example for one semester or a full year.

How do we get started?

Send us a message anytime. We'll quickly set up a short intro call to understand your goals and propose the best next steps.
