Startup Job Board

Important Note on Hiring Terms

Please note that the Holmes Center for Entrepreneurships at the University of Minnesota does not provide wages or financial support for positions posted on the Startup Job Board. All hiring arrangements, including compensation and employment terms, are entirely up to the discretion of your company. Additionally, the University does not vet or endorse individual employers or employees. We recommend that students exercise appropriate discretion when applying for or accepting any job offer.

If you're interested in financial support or wage-sharing opportunities to help offset hiring costs, we encourage you to explore our Deluxe E-ternship Program—a specialized initiative designed to help startups engage talent through structured, funded internships.

FAQ's

How much do interns get paid?
- This is entirely up to the hiring company to decide. The University of Minnesota has no involvement in the official hiring process of these internships. The Startup Job Board exists to amplify available opportunities within the startup job market to interested UMN students. For a more structured intern hiring process, please explore our Deluxe E-ternship Program (available Spring and Fall semesters only).

How is this different than the Deluxe E-ternship Program?
- Under the Deluxe E-ternship Program accepted students are officially hired and compensated by the University of Minnesota. The intern then spends the semester with their host company, and at the end of the semester, the participating company is responsible financially for half of the cumulative hours worked by their E-tern. It offers an opportunity to access top tier talent at a reduced cost, and UMN handles all necessary hiring paperwork and admin duties. The Startup Job Board serves only as a connecter for companies and students.

How do companies apply to post an internship opportunity/job opening on the Job Board?
- You can submit a job posting here.

How are companies able to see who has applied?
- When submitting an internship opportunity/job opening, companies are required to include either an external application link, or contact information for students to submit relevant application materials to. This means it is up to companies to decide how they would like interns to apply.

What type of students have access to the Job Board?
- The Startup Job Board is open to all UMN undergraduate students including those enrolled at the Carlson School of Management, The College of Design, College of Science and Engineering, and beyond!

What type of job postings are allowed?
- While we recommend cross functional projects that allow students a firsthand experience with entrepreneurship, we accept submissions from any industry or function. This can range from marketing to product design to software development, and beyond! All postings must be approved by our team before officially being posted to the Job Board.
