How does AventoLinks vet talent?
Candidates are evaluated on academic background, technical skills, assessments, real project performance, teamwork, communication, leadership, mentor feedback, and portfolio quality - not just CVs.
What kinds of challenges can organizations submit?
Technical, operational, research, innovation, and business problems across all sectors. We scope the problem, assemble the right multidisciplinary team, and pair them with experienced mentors.
Are challenges paid or unpaid?
Both. Organizations set compensation on submission - funded projects, sponsored challenges, or open-to-discussion. We prioritize projects that offer stipends where practical.
How long does a typical project take?
Most challenges run 4, 6, 8, or 12 weeks, though timelines are flexible based on scope. Duration is confirmed during scoping before the team is assembled.
How is confidentiality handled?
Organizations can flag challenges as confidential. In those cases the industry partner is displayed as "Confidential Industry Partner", and team members sign NDAs before onboarding.
