Welcome to the ESA Fellows Program!

We connect MBA students with startups that need help! This program is entirely free for both students and startups. We know new employees work best when passionate about their projects, so matching is largely up to the students.

Our 2026 Fall Cohort included 22 Startups, 60+ Projects, 60+ Students!

Process & Timeline for Fall 2026!

1. September: MBAs start signing up

   • MBA’s select projects and sign up. Each project should aim to be ~5 hrs/week for 8-10 weeks. (See the example I emailed you!). Once the matching process is completed, Nick J will send out warm intros connecting the students to the startups when decision are made.
   • Info sessions
