qava is a platform that connects startups, nonprofits, and growth companies with high-performing talent—MBAs, Executive MBAs, and skilled professionals—who are ready to take on short-term, high-impact projects.

Strategy, finance, operations, marketing, go-to-market, fundraising prep, research—you name it. If it’s a business challenge that needs brainpower and execution, qava talent can help.

Our talent pool includes MBA and Executive MBA students from top programs, consultants, former operators, and career switchers with deep expertise and fresh perspective. They’re here to make a real impact.

We offer flexible pricing. You can post a project for free or choose a paid listing for increased visibility and faster matching. Get in touch if you’d like help crafting the right brief.

Yes. You can review applicants, shortlist talent, and select who you’d like to work with. Or let us help match you with the right candidate based on your needs.

It’s up to you. Most projects run for 2–6 weeks with 5–10 hours of work per week. You define the scope. We recommend being clear about expectations upfront to attract the best fit.

Not necessarily. Many candidates are open to unpaid or incentive-based work (gift cards, equity, etc.) if the project offers valuable experience. But if you want to attract top talent fast, consider a modest stipend.

Very easily. Sign up, click on Post a Project, fill out a short brief (we’ll guide you through it—our AI will help), and submit. You’ll be notified when candidates express interest or apply.

Be clear, concise, and compelling. Explain what the challenge is, what kind of help you’re looking for, and what’s in it for the candidate—experience, exposure, mentorship, etc. The best projects read like an exciting opportunity, not just a task list.

No problem. Reach out to the qava team and we’ll help you turn your idea into a clear, actionable brief that gets attention from the right talent.
