Hey Possible
Hey Possible operates a live, interactive career preparation platform that connects university students with industry professionals through small-group networking chats, deep-dive sessions, and real-world projects. The one-month structured program covers tech career paths including product, design, engineering, marketing, sales, HR, operations, and data, with a focus on authentic storytelling and direct Q&A rather than pre-recorded lectures. The platform is delivered through university partnerships, with institutions like Santa Clara University and the Great Lakes College Association bringing the program to their students.

Problem
Traditional career preparation for university students relies on static job descriptions, pre-recorded lectures, and impersonal networking, leaving students without authentic exposure to real-world roles or the ability to test their assumptions about different career paths. This isolating approach often results in students making ill-informed career choices, with many people ending up unhappy with their career decisions.
Solution
Hey Possible provides a structured, one-month career accelerator program that connects students directly with industry professionals working in the fields they are exploring. The program is 100% live and interactive, featuring small-group networking chats, deep-dive sessions taught by industry leaders, projects, panels, and workshops that simulate day-to-day problems of different disciplines. Students gain unfiltered insights through direct Q&A with practitioners, learn core frameworks and concepts, and receive guidance on storytelling, LinkedIn/CV building, and networking. The program covers building roles (product, design, engineering), selling roles (marketing, sales), and running roles (HR, operations, data), helping students refine their pitch and secure job offers in competitive markets.
Target Audience
Primary customers are universities and their students, particularly those exploring tech careers or validating a career path, with faculty and staff nominating students for participation. The program also serves employers seeking access to top, diverse, and pre-trained university students.
