Startup Shuffle Startup Recruitment [Carnival only]
Startup Shuffle 2026 - Startup × Student Hiring
BLOCK71 and Projet are reimagining Startup Shuffle, happening on 7 October (Wed), 6-10pm at i3 Building, NUS Enterprise.
Startup Shuffle connects startups with students looking for hands-on opportunities in the startup ecosystem. This year, startups can meet and evaluate potential interns, project-based contributors and early team members through two formats running concurrently:
🎪 Startup Carnival
A casual, conversation-based hiring format where startups can meet students through 1-to-1 conversations, short interviews and networking. Students will move between startup booths to learn about available roles and connect directly with teams.
💡 Hackathon Challenge
A skill-based hiring format where students work on a short, role-specific challenge provided by your startup, before presenting their solution for judging. This allows startups to evaluate candidates based on how they think, create and execute — beyond their résumé.
Event Flow
6–6:30pm - Startup Introductions
6:30–8:30pm - 🎪 Carnival + 💡 Hackathon run concurrently
*Dinner served during the evening
8:30–9:30pm - Hackathon Presentations & Judging
9:30–10pm - Networking & Wrap-up
**Things to Note When Registering for the Carnival
This form is for startups participating in the Startup Carnival only.
If you would like to participate in the Hackathon Challenge, please register through the Hackathon Form instead: https://luma.com/w6erbm77. All Hackathon startups will automatically be included in the Carnival, so you do not need to submit both forms.
‼️ Registration closes 2nd October 2026 for Carnival Sign-Ups.
