    We are looking for recent graduates who want to start companies in the next 5 years and/or become highly technical leaders in the software & technology sectors. If this is you, we'd love to talk.

    Horizons One is a tuition-free technology co-op program designed to build highly technical leaders for the next generation of great software companies.

    We propel students into promising careers in software engineering, product management, and entrepreneurship. We've created a 2-year track that prepares students to build companies and become top-performers wherever they go.

    Students participate in a year of a rigorous and comprehensive software engineering/ product curriculum followed by a year working in high-growth, innovative companies with the support and career coaching of the Horizons Network.

    Students leave Horizons One in control. With an arsenal of technical skills, experience working in high-growth environments and winning teams, and a strong industry network, you have all the recipes needed to build your own ideas or be a key contributor to the next big idea.

    A bit about our team:

    • Ex YC founder, active angel investor (50+ investments), Managing Parter at Early Stage VC Firm
    • Early PM at Rocketship Company (Optimizely)
    • Ex-Hedge Fund'er (Apollo)
    • Instructors have sold companies and worked as both Engineering Managers and Staff Engineers (one of the highest levels of engineering) at companies like Salesforce, Optimizely, and DE Shaw.

    Horizons students have gone on to receive offers from firms such as Google, Slack, Yelp, McKinsey, BCG, Visa, J.P. Morgan, and more. If you are interested, you can start an application here: joinhorizons.com/one.
