Extern invented the remote Externship, a completely new form of real work experience with integrated learning. Unlike traditional job marketplaces, Extern creates work experience “supply” by powering Externships on behalf of companies. Extern.com makes tens of thousands of real work experiences per year available to students with curiosity, passion, and determination to prove themselves through a turnkey software platform that makes running work experiences a breeze for companies.

Hiring Pitch
Extern wants to help anyone, starting with students, launch their career by getting access to professional experiences in the era of generative AI. To achieve this mission, we pioneered a new form of professional experience called the remote "Externship" that scales the management of top performing GenZers on real company projects.
Our platform recruits cohorts of students from around the globe to tackle strategic & analytical problems across customer discovery, market insights, R&D, analytics, and product strategy. Training and guidance is provided by subject matter experts, and our automated system and support team removes the resource drain on employees and HR so that externs receive the assistance they need.
Extern launched Remote Externships in 2019 and has helped thousands of students from underserved backgrounds gain professional experience from Fortune 1000s such as PwC, Home Depot, Meta, HSBC, HP, Pfizer, Hugo Boss, Beats by Dre, National Geographic, The Nature Conservancy, Greenpeace as well as numerous growth stage companies. Nearly 80% of students are from underrepresented backgrounds, and we see 1 in 2 students land Fortune 1000 jobs within 6 months of completing an externship. Backers include YCombinator, Foundation Capital, Learn Capital, University Ventures, and Launch Fund.
