Providing real work opportunities to students — with real companies.
We connect students with companies — providing real work experience and fresh perspectives that drive results.
Anyone 14+ can pitch themselves and list the work they want to do.
Companies post what they need — projects, hours, outcomes.
Échelle handpairs students and ventures based on fit and ambition.
Fixed retainer after a milestone, or a % of revenue earned. Never upfront.
Two ways to engage. Both are rooted in the same idea: no earning, no payment.
On milestone
Pay a fixed retainer only after a pre-agreed target is hit. No prepayment, no deposit. Ideal for projects with a clear delivery milestone.
Fixed after discussion
We take a percentage of what you earn from the work we do — fixed after discussion, tailored to your stage and scope. If you earn nothing, you pay nothing. Our incentives are stapled to yours.
No earning, no payment. Guaranteed across both models.
