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.
