What if startups pitched to you instead of the other way around?
On June 2nd during NYC Tech Week, that's exactly what's happening.
Here's the format:
- 10-20 startups pitch on stage— 5 minutes each to tell you why you should work for them
- You watch, then decide — see who's actually interesting before you talk to anyone
- Real conversations follow — office hours, speed matching, actual hiring talks
📍 Location: Hunter College, 68th Street Campus, Upper East Side
⏰ Time: 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM
📅 Date: Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026
Who's coming:
- hundreds of students from Columbia, NYU, Fordham, Pace, Hunter, Baruch, The New School, and more
- All majors, all experience levels
- Startups actively hiring for engineering, marketing, ops, design, and more
What you need to know:
✅ No resume drops — just real conversations
✅ Skills-based matching through Velric
✅ Free for students
PLUS: After the Fair
