How Startery Works
A step-by-step breakdown of how Startery connects talent, startups, and partners to get real work done.
The Big Idea
Startery makes it easy for people to work on real problems, and for teams to get real work done—with smart matching, clear scopes, and human support.
We’ve built a system that works for students, companies, and contributors alike.
How It Works for Talent

Our hands-on tryout process. Build something real, not just submit a résumé.

Level Up
As you complete projects, you unlock better roles, higher pay, and mentorship opportunities.

How It Works for Companies

Describe what you need. We’ll help scope it if needed.
We Staff the Right Team
Using AI + human review, we match vetted Operators to your project.
Work Gets Done
Projects run on clear milestones. You’ll see updates and can review progress anytime.
Option to Hire
If there’s a match, convert Operators into full-time hires—seamlessly.
