What we’re looking for
FAQ
Schwap is a community marketplace where handpicked and vetted uni students do mini projects for top-tier founders in exchange for hands-on experience, compensation, mentorship, referrals, and real career capital.
Schwap is a mini-project that usually lasts 3 to 12 weeks. The duration of the project is determined by the founders who provide you with clear expectations and specifications.
This varies based on the project and will depend on skill, complexity, and other factors. You’ll get to discuss your expectations with us in the interview so we can make sure everyone is aligned.
Regardless, Schwaps are always based on mutual exchange of value. We believe that the best relationships start with a completed project where both sides can learn and evaluate the potential of working together. Once completed, founders can extend a part or full-time offer.
You can join Schwap by registering your interest an signing-up to our platform! Only university students can join now.
You will have a dedicated time each week with the founder to discuss your career and learn from their experience. Our founders have tons of industry and business experience from leading teams to navigating job search and it’s all for you to tap in and learn from.
After the Schwap is completed, we ask the founders to complete a recommendation for you to include in your portfolio. However, this doesn’t mean the work has to stop. You can continue working together on terms you both agree to 👍
