New grads need mentorship, and most start ups probably don&#x27;t have the bandwidth to offer the right amount of mentorship to help a new grad thrive in that environment.<p>Nice read!

The article is correct in principle, but if targeting individuals and mitigate the risks, can be super valuable. Need to have a good strategy in place and funnel. The upside is that graduate is the only level where you can compete with big companies as a startup. If grad likes your idea enough, he will take a shot.

Eh. All jobs would benefit from someone with experience; therefore, absolutely nobody should hire someone with no prior full-time work experience.<p>Done and done.
