MIT Startup Career Fair 2026

The MIT Startup Career Fair brings 64 top startups, including Kalshi, Suno, and Whoop, to campus across AI, hardware, engineering, biotech, fintech, defense, climate, and product, all actively hiring MIT undergraduates  for internships and full-time roles.This isn’t a traditional career fair. You’ll be meeting founders and early engineers, not just recruiters, and having real conversations about what they’re building and who they’re looking to hire.Why Startups?Startups tend to hire differently than large companies, with faster decisions, fewer layers, and more direct access to the team. Strong interest and initiative go a long way, especially at early-stage companies.Interns and new hires often take real ownership of projects, ship quickly, and see the impact of their work immediately. If you’re excited by responsibility, learning fast, and building from the ground up, startups offer an experience that’s hard to match.Why Attend?✅ Meet founders and team members from high-growth startups✅ Explore internship and full-time roles across technical and non-technical teams✅ Sign up for info sessions, socials, and Startup Week events✅ Build meaningful connections with startups actively hiring MIT talentHow to Participate:1️⃣ Register for the event here: jobsrunway.com/mit-fair-20262️⃣ Browse startup profiles and open roles3️⃣ Reach out with startups even before the fair starts, to stand out among the crowd4️⃣ Join us on February 12, 5-8pm ready to network and explore startup opportunities If you’re interested in working at a startup, taking ownership fast, and building things that matter, this is the week to show up.
