""This next generation is constantly looking for ways to figure out who they are by doing things," Haber tells Entrepreneur, "and because it's such a socially native generation, we see all these people online making money in different ways. This next gen really wants to work with brands they love as well and admire, and it's a blend of this consumer meets career.""
"Recognizing that many students graduate without knowing what they want to do with their lives - and often with significant debt - Haber wanted to help them build "multi-hyphenate" careers early on. So Haber launched the Los Angeles-based startup Home From College in 2021 alongside co-founder Kaj Zandvliet, a former banker at PineBridge Investments and financial analyst at Sony Music Entertainment. "We position ourselves as the translator between companies and college students.""
Julia Haber founded an experiential marketing agency as a Syracuse student, bringing retail pop-ups to campuses and working with brands like Shopify to teach entrepreneurship. The experience revealed changes in the Gen Z career landscape and a generation that learns by doing and seeks work with admired brands. Haber launched Home From College in Los Angeles in 2021 with co-founder Kaj Zandvliet to bridge companies and college students. The platform offers only paid, student-first opportunities—about 90% remote—and lets companies list gigs from one-day projects to longer brand ambassador programs while students create accounts to earn and gain experience.
