Abundant, affordable talent is one of the best kept secrets of Upstate New York. Our region has over 100 colleges and universities training more than half a million students each year. StartFast has strong relationships with top tier institutions like Cornell University, Syracuse University, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute, Clarkson University and others. As a result, StartFast teams will be able to:
- Assign specific tasks to a pre-selected cadre of motivated student programmers, designers and digital media/communications specialists.
- Recruit startup talent at a fraction of the cost (and without the competitive pressures) associated with hiring in larger urban centers.
A small number of designer/developer and associate positions are available for students or entrepreneurial individuals interested in working with StartFast teams over the summer.
