Frequently asked questions - Students

What is the time commitment?

The commitment we communicate to startups is 5-7 hours per student weekly. However, this is flexible between the team and your team lead, serving as a general guideline to ensure progress towards delivering the project at the highest quality. Project cycles last 6-8 weeks, with a maximum 2-week extension if requested by the client. Please inform your project director if an extension is needed.

I don’t have any experience. Can I apply?

Absolutely! We do not require any prior experience to apply. We screen for students who are proactive and show a genuine passion for the industry, project, or scope of work.

How often will we meet with the startup founders?

We recommend meeting with the client at least once a week to ensure alignment and progress towards the project goals. While this is not strictly enforced due to busy schedules, it serves as a guideline. You will meet with your team more regularly throughout the project cycle, as scheduled by the team lead.

When will I know my application results?

Application windows will be open for one week each round. Selected candidates will receive interview offers by the second week, and all results will be communicated by the beginning of the third week after applications open.

What is the difference between an Associate Consultant and a Team Lead?

The Team Lead is responsible for facilitating communication with the client and task allocation within the team. Associate Consultants work alongside the team to complete the deliverables.
