Platform Overview

What is Opportunist?

Opportunist is a personalized opportunity discovery platform built for students. Instead of sifting through dozens of disconnected job boards and event sites, students answer a few questions about their major and interests โ€” and Opportunist does the rest.

The core problem we solve: most students don't find meaningful internships, volunteer work, or networking events because the right opportunities are buried across too many places. By the time they find something relevant, the deadline has passed.

Opportunist pulls from multiple live APIs, filters by each student's selected niche, and surfaces a single, curated feed โ€” updated daily โ€” so every opportunity shown is timely, relevant, and actionable.

01

One Profile

Build a single profile once โ€” your major, interests, location, and goals. Every recommendation flows from it.

02

Three Opportunity Types

Internships, volunteer placements, and campus events โ€” all in one unified feed, sourced from verified APIs.

03

Personalized Feed

Our matching engine filters by niche so you only see what's genuinely relevant to where you want to go.

โ€œI'd been applying to internships for months with no luck. Opportunist matched me to a policy fellowship I never would have found on LinkedIn โ€” and I got it.โ€

โ€œThe match score is genuinely useful. When it says 95%, it means the role fits your background โ€” not just your keyword. That's different from every other platform.โ€

โ€œI'm at a small state school and always felt like opportunities were for Ivy kids. Opportunist changed that. I found a nonprofit internship literally 10 min after signing up.โ€
