Empowering students through innovation and opportunity

College.xyz is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit network built by students for students. According to the website, College.xyz aims to close the gap between traditional education and the fast-moving pace of technological innovation. What began as the Midwest Blockchain Conference—an event that brought together over 400 students from 35 universities—has evolved into a year-round ecosystem connecting student talent with industry leaders through internships, grants, and educational opportunities.

A growing ecosystem of education and collaboration

The platform serves as a bridge between students and companies shaping the future of blockchain and emerging technologies. The organization offers access to career opportunities, internships, and paid bounties that reward student contributions in content, design, and development. The website is organized into sections highlighting key resources such as Events, Careers, and Bounties, helping visitors find relevant opportunities. College.xyz also collaborates with notable organizations including Solana, Coinbase, Galaxy, Avalanche, and the Ethereum Foundation, as well as university blockchain clubs from over 70 institutions worldwide.

Leadership from the next generation of builders

College.xyz is co-founded by Evan Solomon and Shashank Kalluri. As highlighted on LinkedIn, Evan serves as Chief of Staff at Portal Ventures, a blockchain-focused investment firm, and previously helped launch the inaugural Midwest Blockchain Conference at the University of Michigan. Shashank, an Associate Consultant at global management consulting firm Bain & Company, served as President of Michigan Blockchain and continues to advance student engagement in decentralized technology education. Together, they have expanded College.xyz from a regional event into a global platform uniting students and industry.
