Founded by students who
experienced the barriers firsthand
Put Me On was born in 2025 from a simple idea: if we had access to the right opportunities at the right time, everything would have been different. So we built it.
Our Mission
What drives us every day
We connect students and early-career professionals to the opportunities, tools, and support they need to grow. Every day, we work to bridge the gap between potential and achievement.
Our Vision
The future we're building
A future where ambition and skill — not background or circumstance — define who gets to succeed. A world where everyone has equal access to life-changing opportunities.
The numbers tell the story
Systemic barriers continue to block underrepresented talent from reaching their potential.
