Startuplifers Program

Startuplifers program supports budding Nordic talent to go after international working experiences, to believe in their own potential and to outgrow it. It combines the adventurous lifestyle of an expatriate with the challenge of working in a high-growth startup, all while having fun with like-minded people.

We are thrilled to introduce for the very first time the new and exciting structure of the Startuplifers program. No matter which stages in job hunting you are at, now there are two paths – Passport and Takeoff, to uniquely support your professional journey. 

Passport

If you are looking for step by step guidance from improving your CV to facing interviews, this is the path for you. Passport is a 2-week intensive training program to help you shine on paper and in person. You will get support to build on your CV and Cover Letters, and send out killer applications. Learn how to find companies and positions that compliment what you have to offer, and make contact with the right people. Practice how to face interviews and leave a lasting impression. 

Takeoff

For those of you who are seasoned job hunters, this is the ideal path for you. You may already have your job application ready to go, as well as plenty of experience in acing at interviews. Or you are confident you can excel in these areas by yourself. Then you can apply for Takeoff, an open program running all-year-round, where you will receive all the material and handbooks, but do the work on your own. 

No matter which path you take, the experience is the same. We will match you with a great startup in San Fransisco, and provide your flight ticket, visa and if needed legal support. All you have to do is pack your bags, hop on that plane and embark on an adventure of a lifetime.
