Straight answers.
If your question isn’t here, write to us. We answer within two working days.
Applying
Who can apply?
Students in their 3rd or 4th year of university, in any country, who can work remotely for [HOURS] hours a week during [DATES].
Can I apply to two tracks?
No. Pick one. Each track has its own assignment, and doing two well at once isn’t realistic. If you can’t decide, the tracks page helps.
How long does it take?
The form takes about 10 minutes. The whole process, from form to commitment check, is a few hours spread over [X] days or so.
Can I edit my application?
You can update your phone number and LinkedIn in your portal. For anything else, email us before applications close and we’ll fix it.
What if I miss a deadline?
Your application stops at that step. If something real got in the way, tell us before the deadline, not after. We can’t promise an extension, but we read every request.
The program
Is it a job or an internship?
No. It’s a real environment where you’re assessed on real-world briefs. It’s not a job, so there’s no pay. What you get is a clear, honest picture of how you work.
Is it remote?
Yes, fully. Meetings are on video, on Pacific Time. You need a laptop and a steady connection.
How much time does it take?
[HOURS] hours a week for [WEEKS] weeks. Some weeks are heavier. Plan for that, not for the average.
What do I earn?
Points, for work handed in, feedback given and meetings attended. Points unlock perks like a feedback report or a recommendation letter. See the full list.
Can I withdraw?
Yes, at any time, from your portal. We’d rather you leave early than stay and disappear. You can apply again next cohort.
Interview and decisions
What is the recorded interview?
You record your answers to [N] questions, at a time that suits you. Everyone in your track gets the same questions.
What are you assessed on?
Your assignment and your interview answers, against a short rubric. Never your demographics.
Who makes the final call?
People. We set the rules, and we make the close calls, especially when a track has more strong applicants than seats.
Data and privacy
What happens to my data?
We use it to run your application and the program, and nothing else. We don’t sell it. If you’re declined or withdraw, we delete it 12 months after the cohort closes. Details in the privacy notice.
Can I download or delete it?
Yes, both, from your portal’s account page. Deleting your data also withdraws your application.
Who else sees it?
Our staff, and the services that host and process it for us, listed in the privacy notice. Partners see your work only once you’re on the program. Optional demographics are kept separately and only ever counted, never read one by one.
