Academy Ventures
About the Academy:
Academy Ventures makes finding careers in Web3 simple and personal for students. We are solving the difficulty of landing jobs in the blockchain industry by connecting job-seeking students directly to company founders. Through our partnerships and industry experience, we are connected to over 15,000 projects, including those backed by Y-Combinator. Our goal is not merely to be a job board; we go beyond that and assist students throughout the entire hiring process, from resume building to founder introductions to interview preparation. By matching talented students to powerful blockchain startups, we serve as Web3 career mentors that many students lack in traditional university institutions. We do this for free.
