Handshake reposted this
Meet Garrett Lord co-founder and CEO of Handshake, who’s on a mission to help democratize access to opportunity. Stemming from his own struggles searching for an internship in Silicon Valley from a remote university and without any existing network, Handshake seeks to ease this process for all students and alumni—no experience, connections, or luck required. Garrett sat down with us to share his personal story and how he confronted the reality of job hunting without a prestigious institution and its network for support. Read Garrett’s innovator story here: https://lnkd.in/g2AQQDsa Learn about the ins and outs of founding a startup from the ground up, including balancing tight budgets with the ability to compete on a national scale. From road tripping across America and selling Handshake at college fairs, to becoming the leading early-career talent network connecting around one million employers with 15 million students and young alumni around the world, Garrett’s journey has covered it all. His story is a testament to the power of entrepreneurship and the impact of bold action. Our thanks to Garrett for letting us share his story.
