How it works
Step 1: Create and Complete Your Profile
Sign up and complete your profile by sharing your education, skills, experience, industry interests, startup stage, communication style, and what you are looking for in a co-founder.
A complete profile helps other users understand your background and gives you better information for identifying compatible potential co-founders.
Step 2: Get Matched Through Smart Filters
Explore other users' profiles and use FBPF's filtering features to narrow your search based on criteria such as education, skills, experience, university, location, startup stage, industry interests, and communication style. Review complete profiles to identify potential co-founders who match what you are looking for.
Step 3: Connect, Collaborate, and Grow
Send connection requests to potential co-founders and, once connected, chat directly in FBPF to exchange ideas, get to know each other better, and arrange further conversations or meetings. As an additional benefit, users can also discover entrepreneurship resources and opportunities, including university entrepreneurship centers and clubs, networking events, pitch competitions, accelerator programs, and funding opportunities.
FBPF Vision
FBPF's vision is to strengthen entrepreneurship across U.S. higher education by making it easier for students and alumni to find co-founders and access the support needed to build businesses. By connecting university communities through one platform, FBPF aims to reduce barriers to entrepreneurship, encourage cross-campus collaboration, and help more students and alumni turn ideas into viable ventures nationwide.
Our Story
As a CSUN alumna, I created FBPF after seeing how difficult and time-consuming it can be for students and alumni to find compatible potential co-founders. FBPF was designed specifically for university students and alumni, creating a more focused and trusted environment where they can connect around shared entrepreneurial goals and discover resources that help them move from ideas to action.
Technology
FBPF combines verified student and alumni profiles with detailed search and filtering tools so users can discover potential co-founders based on education, skills, experience, location, startup stage, industry interests, communication style, and other relevant criteria. Users can review profiles, connect, and chat directly, while also accessing entrepreneurship opportunities such as university centers, student clubs, pitch competitions, accelerator programs, grants, funding opportunities, and networking events.
