​About Headstart

​Headstart is a London-based platform founded by two UCL students to make work experience more accessible. It connects university students with startups through micro-internships: short, project-based roles of around 6 to 8 weeks, taking 5 to 7 hours a week, where students work directly with founders on real business problems. No prior experience is needed. Headstart has worked with over 5,000 students from more than 70 universities and partners with over 40 university societies.
