Cost

We know cash is critical for startups and most can’t afford to attend BYU’s Career and STEM fairs so we keep the cost of our fair as low as possible. We are not trying to make money, we just want to cover our costs and help support Utah’s amazing entrepreneurial ecosystem. Given the pandemic’s impact on startups and the fact this year’s event will be virtual, we will not be charging for this year’s event.

Why

Utah has a dynamic and thriving community of startups. These companies represent the future business success of Utah and beyond. While many Fortune 500 companies recruit regularly at BYU, most local startups do not get this opportunity. BYU Startup Career Fair bridges that gap. BYU Startup Career Fair has four main purposes:

Build awareness and excitement about Utah’s dynamic and thriving startup community
Give BYU students exclusive access to Utah’s renowned entrepreneurial ecosystem
Provide career opportunities for BYU students at Utah startup companies
Educate Utah startup companies about the talent-sourcing opportunities at BYU
