The founders

Why we started Summit Labs.

We're both students in Provo. We kept seeing a disconnect between the students trying to get jobs and the people actually getting hired.

And if a student doesn't have a resume, they're a lot less likely to get any job at all. So we host hackathons where students build real things and leave with something to show.
