The rapid growth of the startup ecosystem has created a strong demand for flexible, cost-effective workforce solutions, while students pursuing higher education seek opportunities to gain practical experience and improve employability. However, existing job portals and internship platforms primarily focus on full-time employment or structured corporate internships, making them unsuitable for early-stage startups and students interested in short-term or project-based roles. This paper presents StartupNest, a full-stack cloud-based platform designed to enable structured collaboration between students and startups. The system allows startups to post internship, project-based, and early-career opportunities, while students can explore roles, submit applications, and track their application status through dedicated dashboards. The platform incorporates role-based authentication, secure data storage, and cloud deployment to ensure scalability, accessibility, and data integrity. Additionally, intelligent features such as skill-based matching enhance the efficiency of connecting students with suitable opportunities. The proposed system demonstrates an effective, scalable, and user-centric approach to bridging the gap between student talent and startup workforce requirements, thereby supporting experiential learning and improving talent acquisition for startups.
