How much does it cost?
Philly Software Exchange is free for businesses and students! Post projects, apply, and connect with no platform fees. Projects may be paid or volunteer; businesses and students agree on compensation directly. A match is not guaranteed.
What happens after a match?
We help make the introduction. The business and student agree on scope, timeline, payment, ownership, portfolio use, and maintenance before starting.
Who can take part?
Philadelphia small businesses and college students ready to put their software skills to work. We’re an independent initiative, open to students from any college.
How are students paid?
Businesses pay students directly. Before work starts, both agree in writing on scope, a fixed price or hourly rate, payment dates, expenses, and cancellation terms. Any platform matching fee is separate. Each party must check their tax responsibilities; businesses may have payroll or reporting duties. The platform does not withhold student taxes.
