Generally speaking, students in F-1 status do not CPT to participate in this initial experience. However, if a student in F-1 status was offered the opportunity to continue to work for this start-up beyond this initial experience, they would need to request and be approved for CPT prior to extending their experience. Students in this situation should consult with the ISSS.
