Why TechX?
TechX connects companies with top early-career engineering talent from leading U.S. universities, and ambitious learners eager to gain real work experience while building meaningful products under mentorship from senior engineers at Google, Microsoft, Meta, and more.
You get structured, mentor-supervised delivery and fresh innovation energy, while helping train the engineers who will power the next generation of technology.
Mentorship that builds both products and people
Each project is guided by senior engineers from top tech companies who turn every deliverable into a learning moment. You get production-ready work built to professional standards, while helping rising engineers gain the experience that accelerates their careers.
Innovation through early-career energy
Our early-career engineers come from leading U.S. universities and bring fresh ideas, curiosity, and drive. Paired with expert mentors, they channel that creativity into structured, high-quality builds that help you prototype faster and explore new directions safely.
Impact that outlasts your roadmap
Every TechX project creates value twice, for your company and for the next generation of engineers. You’re not outsourcing tasks; you’re co-creating with the future workforce, shaping how the next wave of builders learn to design, code, and deliver at scale.

“We shipped two product experiments in under six weeks. The mentor-led pod matched our PR standards, and the handoff docs made it easy for our team to extend.”
Kun CaoCEO, AiArchives
“Three sprints, demo-ready. TechX handled sprints and code reviews so our seniors could stay focused on core work. We ended up inviting two fellows to continue part-time.”
Arash AjamCEO, Cookhub
