How do you get a new grad job at a startup?
Startups label entry-level roles in different ways: new grad, graduate, early career, junior, entry level or associate. This page pulls them all together, across engineering, product, design, sales and operations.
Few startups run formal graduate schemes, so applying in bulk and waiting rarely works. What does: picking companies whose product you understand, showing a project that proves you can do the job, and emailing the person who'd manage you directly.

Do startups hire new grads?
Yes, though fewer than big tech and usually without a fixed recruiting calendar. Startups hire juniors when they have someone to mentor them, so roles open and close throughout the year.
Should you start your career at a startup or a big company?
A startup usually gives you more responsibility and faster learning sooner; a big company gives you structure, training and a recognisable name. Plenty of people do both, in either order.
