Two years ago, Clara launched PlaceMe—a
flexible living solution for the Boston rental market.
Today, the company is the largest co-living
business in Boston.
How has the Hult network played a part in
PlaceMe’s success?
Our co-founder and first investor are both Hult
alumni. The dean of Hult’s Boston campus
continues to be an invaluable mentor. In fact, the
whole Hult community has been very supportive
and creates win-win relationships for those who
have value to offer. We would not be where we
are today without the Hult interns and staff that
account for 80% of our team.
What’s your advice to incoming students?
Get out and network! Never focus on yourself—
always focus on what value you can give to other
people. I’ve have had the pleasure of participating
in Hult’s panels and events because it’s all about
giving back to the Hult community.
EXPERT ADVICE
Maximizing your employment opportunities
An early start is crucial to maximizing your options. Identify your goal
before anything else. The more targeted you can be early on, the more
strategic and efficient you can be with your resume, job search, and
relationship building.
