MyCampusStartups
A safe, structured way for your students to build together.
Your students are already building ventures. We turn that into structured, experiential learning: founders find the talent they need, students gain real hands-on work in their field, and the labor, securities, and IP guardrails come built in.
An internship engine that runs itself — no corporate partners to chase
Your student founders hire their classmates safely, students get real work in their field, and your institution gets the visibility and the compliance you don't have today.
Hands-on learning, at scale
A self-sustaining engine that pairs student founders with student talent, with no outside companies to chase down.
Built to stay compliant
Students join as contractors on paid projects or work for course credit through your existing programs. All underlying agreements provided by our platform are prepped and ready for your campus law clinic's review.
Protects student ownership
Founder-friendly templates and clear IP guidance, so students keep what they build instead of signing it away by accident.
Less risk, more visibility
Bring the dorm-room handshake economy into the open, with fewer messy disputes that pull the institution in.
A win for every department
A steady stream of real, for-credit project work for students across campus, from engineering and design to business and law.
Real students only
School-email verification keeps the community genuine and keeps out the scams that plague open marketplaces.
A low-risk way to try it.
Find a faculty champion
A sponsor in your entrepreneurship center or accelerator hosts the pilot under a program you already run.
Run a small, closed pilot
Launch a free, semester-long accelerator for up to ten student startups, hosted entirely on your terms and in your own setting.
Loop in the clinic and tech transfer
Your campus law clinic reviews the agreements and your tech-transfer office signs off on the IP side.
See the results, then grow
We share what happened: matches made, projects shipped, students engaged, disputes avoided. Then we expand from there.
The six things your counsel will ask about.
Here's the short version — we're happy to walk your team and counsel through the details.
Students are contractors on real projects, not unpaid labor.
Each startup follows its own rules for compensating people with equity. The platform never issues securities or brokers deals.
Clean templates, a reminder before the big tax deadline, and a pointer to a qualified professional.
Clear guidance that respects your institution's IP rules, with tech-transfer sign-off where it's needed.
Faculty award credit through the structures you already have. The platform only sources projects and tracks the work.
We never sell or monetize cap-table or student data, and we never contact a startup's investors.
Administrator FAQ.
Is this compliant?
It's designed to be. Students join as contractors, each startup follows its own rules for equity compensation, IP guidance respects your policies, and the agreements are built for your campus law clinic to review.
Does this create liability for the university?
Our goal is to reduce it. We take an informal economy that already exists and make it documented and standardized, with a written dispute process and agreements built for clinic review, which is meant to mean fewer messy disputes, not more.
Who awards academic credit?
Your faculty do, through the structures you already have, like independent study and capstones. The platform only sources projects and tracks the work; it never awards credit itself.
Do you take equity in student companies?
No. Our platform takes zero ownership. Students keep what they build.
What does a pilot cost?
The pilot is free. We just ask for a faculty champion and a small group. Licensing is a later conversation, only once a pilot has proven its worth.
